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.

    Josh was very polite professional. We had a blast caught tons of fish . Josh made sure we moved around to keep on top of them and all we had to do was cast and catch it was great

    David D. with Josh W. of Corpus Christi, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had an excellent trip w/ Captain Brian. Fishing conditions were very challenging due to the wind. He was able to put us on a few keepers. Brian is an extremely knowledgeable guide and personable as well. We will definitely fish w/ him again.

    Darrell J. with Brian P. of Ingleside, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brian did an amazing job. We caught the heck out of some trout. Sadly it just wasn’t our day for redfish or black drum. He did a great job at helping our kids learn how to bay fish which is different from bass fishing. He was patient with everyone and super helpful. Highly recommend calling on captain Brian if your interested in a guide and have kiddos.
