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 Chandeleur Islands Fishing Overview
The Chandeleur Islands are a series of uninhabited barrier islands south of Biloxi, Mississippi and east of the Mississippi River delta of Louisiana. The Ideal location combined with the structure the island provides draws in tons of fish and makes it a healthy fishery with incredible fishing opportunities. With the islands being remote, it makes it harder for anglers to access the fish that live here and prevents the fish from getting pressured or being overfished. This means this crescent-shaped strip of barrier islands is perfect for a weekend fishing getaway.
Fishing the Chandeleur Islands is unique beyond just being a remote fishery. It is mainly an inshore fishery and holds several different inshore fish species. The islands are made up of mudflats, mangroves, underwater structures, and shorelines that are perfect to explore in search of fish. With everything from flounder, jack crevalle, redfish, speckled trout, and more, this is an inshore angler’s paradise.
With that being said, people come to the Chandeleur Islands for the opportunity to experience the incredible redfish and speckled trout fishing. This is the perfect place to catch quality specks and reds in huge numbers. Catch and release to your heart’s content or keep a couple for a delicious meal, either way, you are sure to be successful.
How do I get to the Chandeleur Islands?
The remoteness of the Chandeleur Islands makes it a great fishery but also more of a challenge to get there in the first place. Fishing here is ideal for a multi-day trip, and you can either stay on the boat or stay in a refurbished oil rig as your home base.
