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.

What month is best for on a bottom fishing charter in Galveston Island?

    We had a great trip with Cptn. Brando. We went inshore / bay fishing for my son’s 21st birthday and took one of his friends who had only been fresh water / pond fishing for a a little over a month. We all had fun and caught a variety of fish.

    Robert made sure we had a great time. Got us on fish that we were interested in catching and we also ended the day with a double up on two reef sharks.

    Trip: Epic Jetty Trip - 23' Edgewater

  • ★★★★★
    Best fishing charter we’ve ever booked. Robert was super laid back with a great attitude. We never felt rushed and most importantly we caught a ton of fish. My 18 and 20 yr olds had a blast battling the sharks. We will definitely book again when we are back in Galveston.

    Trip: Galveston Jetty Trip

  • ★★★★★
    My grandson and two great grandsons enjoyed a day on the water with Robert, (captain BOB). He explained how to and where to fish. As we caught different species of fish he explained what each one was and the differences between each. It was the day after a storm so the water was a little rough but his boat was sufficiate for the task. The end of the day ended with my grandson catching a forty someting pound shark (by Bobs estimation, we did not put it in the boat. Overall a great day on the water! Thanks to BOB !!
