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 live bait fishing charter in San Antonio Bay?

Very much enjoyed the trip. Caught several reds and 4 were keepers. Learned an great deal from Capt Travis about fishing in these waters. It was information I can use on my next trip out. Thanks Travis.

Capt Jody was awesome. He was personable, informative and just fun to talk with. He took straight to good fishing and we had a blast. I will be using him again.

Capt Jody is a hard working guide. It wasn't the easiest day fishing wise with the trout not really biting. Jody worked until we found them.
