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.

    We had an absolutely incredible time on our fishing trip, thanks to our amazing guides, Milton and Chuey! From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They knew all the best spots and made sure my dad and I felt comfortable and included. Their attention to detail, safety, and hospitality made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. The gear was top-notch, the boat was spotless, and the scenery was breathtaking. We learned a lot, laughed even more, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and rewarding day on the water. Can’t wait to book with them again!

    We had an amazing experience thanks to Captain Mike. We were sort of unlucky since gars were not attracted to our baits on that day, but captain Mike tried his best to catch a gigantic alligator gar and we finally got one. You may never experience this anywhere else. Please note that this alligator gar trip begins in Corsicana, not De Soto.
