“I was born and raised in Florida – I already know how to fish.”
- You and your buddies at work are always saying “I’d rather be fishing” – do you realize fishing guides fish for work? Hire one – they got a few more tricks to show you.
- Honey hole – if you had one you wouldn’t be reading this right now. Let a fishing guide put you on one!
- If you are used to stringing up your catch, a fishing guide will show you what those big white coolers are for.
- Come home with some “real big ones” and have an excuse to buy the same gear your bad-ass fishing guide was using!
“I have my own boat – I don’t need a darn guide!”
- Your dusty boat has stale gas as thick as molasses – hire a fishing guide to get your mojo back!
- Your fishing guide will be up at the crack of dawn preparing the boat, while you’re enjoying your biscuits and gravy.
- Your fishing guide will be doing all the work from sunrise to sunset – you could get used to calling another man (or woman) Captain.
- Remember you don’t have any boat cleanup – stop at the bar on your way home and tell your buddies about the big one that DIDN’T get away!
- Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World – have the game of your life in your very OWN shoes!
- You thought your airline pilot was cool – take your family out on the water with a real Captain.
- Unlike the bowling alley, a day with a fishing guide will include big action, beautiful scenery, and professional expertise!
- Your fishing guide will take pictures for you – post them on Facebook and your bowling buddies (or spouse) might just call you Captain when you get home!
What To Bring
- Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses – preferably polarized.
- Bring a cooler with snacks, drinks and a lunch – but NEVER bring a banana on board!
- Bring an extra cooler to leave in the car for all the fresh fish you’re bringing home – your guide will filet your catch.
- A fully charged cell phone for taking photos of all the big ones you reeled in.
- Some cash – because you’ll want to tip your expert guide for an experience of a lifetime!
So up your game and hire a Florida fishing guide! Unlike your work buddies, Florida guides have a honey hole, guarantee big catches, and know the waters for a safe adventure. The PLAY HARD FLORIDA team has put together all the fishing guides throughout the state. You can search by location or by category such as: spearfishing, flats fishing, nearshore, offshore, fly fishing, etc. But don’t take our word for it, plan a day with a guide that will include a sunrise or sunset, wind in your face, the fight of your life, and fresh fish to take home!
