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.

    Captain Kirk is the man. If you want to catch monsters and learn anything you want to know about these dinosaurs, there’s nowhere else to look. Have been fishing with Captain Kirk twice now and has been non-stop action both times.

    Had a fishing day with Kirk. Didn’t do well at first.Lost 3 or 4 fish.But Kirk was patient and I began to learn. By the end I caught 3 and improved my technique. Thanks Kirk!

    Do not hesitate to book your trip with GarZilla! Fantastic experience! Our guide, Randy, made our day one we will never forget and gave our 14 y/o son a memory he will be talking about well into adulthood.

    Trip: Garzilla Gar Fishing Near Palestine

  • ★★★★★
    My wife, two children, and I booked an alligator gar trip with Garzilla while visiting Texas, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We drove about four hours from Marble Falls to Palestine, and it was absolutely worth it. Our guide (Evan) was knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and great to spend the day with. His boat was very clean and well maintained. He took the time to explain everything and made sure everyone had a chance to catch fish. The only thing that could have made this trip better was if evan had put me on the biggest fish (approx. 165 lbs.) But more importantly, every one of us caught one and had a great experience. If you're thinking about booking a gar trip, I highly recommend Garzilla. We made some great memories and would gladly do it again.
