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.

    Kind of bummed. Day of charter a large storm was coming into the Galveston area. We met the guide and discussed that there was no way to get the full day in. We were told we could switch to half day, which we really didn’t get that in either. After the trip I was told again we would get a refund for the half day charter. Never received the refund. We did catch some fish but we paid for a shark trip and took home a couple of trout. Not sure if this is normal but apparently once you lock in your stuck. Probably should have never got on the boat but after traveling 900 miles thought we would get in what we could and took their word that we could change the charter times. Definitely wasn’t a trip of a lifetime. We could have caught fish like this a mile away from the house.
