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.

    Capt. Bubba let us catch some live bait and then took us to the Bull Reds and everyone caught their limit and had plenty of catch and release after. Was a great experience and would definitely book again

    Capt Jonathan's experience & knowledge put us on over 2 dozen bull Reds on a day made for duck hunting, with rain 🌧 bands most of the trip. But like a good Capt, Jonathan knows not to fear the wind but to instead uses it as an advantage by fishing the consealed wind blown areas where the winds push the bait to the fish. DON'T Fear the Wind and DON'T pass up a fishing trip with Capt Jonathan. God Bless and Tight Lines.

    Captain Leb was a great guide! It was my 2nd time red fishing. He gave me a lot of tips on how to fish for the red fish that were extremely helpful. We caught many red, black drum, and flounder and he filet out take homes to how we requested. I will definitely book with him again next year.

    Trip: 4 hr AM Galveston Bay & Jetty

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Meghan's fishing trip started at 12:30 Aug 8 and we knew it would be hot but it was easier for us to take a late trip. CAPTAIN Trenton met us on time at the dock. Directions and all details were provided be email and text the day before. Pedro assisted Captain Trenton on our trip. They both showed us where to store our snacks and drinks. We stopped in the marina to buy live bait and ice and more drinks. Both Captain Trenton and Pedro told us to stay hydrated and let them know if we did not feel well due to motion or heat. They also said we could stand under the shade. They were frequently making sure our 6 year old granddaughter was feeling ok. They made sure we all had the opportunity to reel in fish and they navigated to new places when we were not getting bites. They helped teach our granddaughter to reel in fish, holding the rod with her. The sharks and rays were very heavy. We caught some and a few were too big to get in the boat. It was lots of fun for all 3 of us. Two of us got in the water beside the boat to cool off.. when we returned. Captain cleaned our fish, took pictures for us and packaged our filets to take home. This was the best adventure for our Galveston vacation. The Captain and Pedro were great in all aspects of the trip. Both were kind, helpful, courteous and pleasant. Captain told us to call in the future to find out how the fishing is going when we are ready to take our next trip. Theboat was in excellent condition and was cleaned up immediately when we returned. They take good care of all the equipment. We never had any difficulty at all during the trip. We highly recommend Captain Meghan's fishing trips, and Captain Trenton and Pedro.

    Captain Cody took my son and me out on a Friday morning. We caught a variety of fish including redfish, sheephead, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, and golden grouper (see photos). My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted. He took the time to teach us several tricks for catching fish. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to use him again in the future.

    Captain Izzy provided an excellent fishing experience! This was my first solo fishing trip on a boat and I enjoyed every minute of it. Solid fishing and great conversations! If you're looking for a captain who knows his way around the water, secretly a fish whisper, I highly recommend him for a fantastic fishing trip!

    The trip with Captain Izzy on 7/20 was outstanding. I could have not picked a better guide for my experience. Captain Izzy was a pleasure to fish with, very knowledgeable and will without a doubt book a trip with him again the next time I’m in the Galveston area. Captain Izzy is very professional, the boat was immaculate, the gear provided was top notch. I only have exceptionally good words to say about my trip with him. I look forward to fishing with him again. Thank you Captain Izzy for an outstanding morning.
