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.

    What the best fishing experience ever! Dale was great! We laughed and made jokes as if we had know each other for years. He even let us stay a little longer since it was after the storm and it changes the fishing a bit. It was my dad's first time on a charter, and he loved it! Highly recommend!

    Captain Dale was knowledgeable, educational, patient, and considerate. Despite it being July and Hurricane Beryl a couple of days out he was able to find some great fishing spots! Safety was also a top concern. Recommend him 10 out of 10!!!

    My wife and I had the honor of spending the day fishing with Captain Chris. This was by far the best fishing charter that we have been in. Chris’ experience level showed as he constantly put us on fish all day. We were is busy catching fish we did not even eat lunch! We came very close to limiting out on several species of fish. Chris even showed us tips in cleaning the fish and preparing them. If you are looking for a guide in this area, you will be greatly pleased with Captain Chris!
