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.

    Shrimping with Captain Daryl was an excellent experience. Daryl went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. He provided us with everything we needed to catch the shrimp. This was a GREAT EXPERIENCE, Captain Daryl is top notch and I highly recommend using him for your future trips.

    Outstanding tour! I learned quite a bit from Daryl. From beginning to end, I got some "hands-on" experience on what it's like to catch shrimp. I will not ever forget it. This tour is a definite must for everyone that wants to learn about the art of shrimping. This event gave me more appreciation of the hard work the men and women do daily in shrimping!

    Daryl was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He explained everything in detail and we came home with two big ice chests full of shrimp that he had iced down for us! This was such a pleasurable trip and we hope to go fishing with Daryl again in the near future. Cindy and Don from Shreveport, LA.

    Our family had the best time out on the water with Captain Jason. My son, who is 7 years old, has been talking about his experience all night. The captain was knowledgeable, fun and helpful throughout our adventure. Wendy made the pre booking easy prior to the trip. Also, We were able to keep our fish and have a delicious fish fry that evening! We highly recommend this fishing guided trip! Thank you!
