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.

    5 star guide easy. No we didn’t limit out but you won’t find a guide out there that will put in the time and energy that CAPT Mitch did. He got us on fish and I will go with him exclusively when I go with a guide. He’s that good.

    My brother and I took a 4 hr trip for redfish and sea trout. Fishing was slow and catching was slower yet. We did catch enough for a couple of meals. Captain Kevin had good equipment, a clean comfortable boat and gave us 100% effort. Beautiful weather too.

    Captain Mitch is fun to hop in the water with. Put us on some fish, explained why we were doing what we were doing, and even pointed out some park-and-wade spots for future trips to Corpus. (Too soon to review his recipes!) Now that the freezer is full of reds we'll be coming back to chase a 30in trout!
