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.

    Awesome experience! Caught around 10 gar, he really knows what he’s doing. Super chill and professional. I’ll definitely book with him again!

    Mark was a great guide. I’ve been on many charters but Mark definitely took things to a whole new level. He made sure we caught a fish and helped us the entire catch. Mark is very knowledgeable in his craft and I’ll definitely be returning to him in the near future.

    Mark is the outfitter every serious bowfisher wants. He won’t quit until he puts you on fish. Very very knowledgeable and a trip that we will never forget! We will be back!
