Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    The fishing trip we took was great, we caught some fish and one good one got away, but the trip was good, we ran into a little weather but it comes with the territory, but I would recommend you go with this company

    James did an excellent job. The fishing was very slow during the day but he kept us moving in an effort to find them which we eventually did. Both of us ended the day with our limits. Easy to talk too. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and I’m planing to go with him again next time.

    Great captain, great fishing! We had experienced and inexperienced fishermen on the trip. Captain Alex took the time to teach and mentor the less experienced while supporting our more skilled fishermen. Just a great trip all the way around. We will most definitely be back for more. Thanks Alex, Semper Fi!

    Wonderful experience! I purchased a 4-hour fishing trip for father’s day for my husband and it was amazing! Had a scare in the beginning with a change in Captain’s yet worked out perfectly! Capt Brian was phenomenal!! His expertise are unmatched! We learned a lot! Highly recommend Capt Brian and Captain experiences for an excellent fishing experience.

    James was awesome! He had us a 3 man limit on trout in the first hour on the water. Fishing conditions were amazing though so that really helped! He was extremely knowledgeable in his trade as a fishing guide and extremely fun to hang out with! We will definitely be getting with James again in the near future for another trip!

    Travis is the expert I have been lookin for around Aransas pass for years. Conditions did not play to our favor, yet he still put us on fish. Fountain of knowledge when it comes to targeting and developing a pattern in the flats. I will fish with Travis as long as hes in business 🤙🏼
