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.

Aransas Pass Fishing Charter Overview
Aransas Pass, situated near Redfish Bay, is an ideal location for fishing enthusiasts seeking access to some of South Texas' most productive waters. With the guidance of an Aransas Pass fishing guide, anglers can explore the abundant natural resources of the Redfish, Aransas, and Corpus Christi Bays, as well as the deep waters of the Gulf.
The diverse range of fishing grounds in the area offers opportunities to catch a variety of fish species, including Sheepshead, Flounder, Trout, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Cobia, Amberjack, Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Red Snapper. Half-day trips are available for beginners and families, while longer trips of up to twelve hours or multiple days are suitable for more experienced anglers.
It is important to note that all anglers over the age of 17 must obtain a license to fish in Texan waters, including a saltwater permit. Additionally, those seeking to catch Bull Redfish over 28 inches must purchase a Red Drum tag. Bag and size limits are enforced and will be monitored by the fishing guide.
Aransas Pass Inshore Fishing
The endless cuts, channels, and over 14,000 acres of grass flats make Aransas Pass an inshore fishing paradise. Flounder opportunities peak during their migration to the gulf from October to December. They can be caught on a rod and reel in channels or gigged in shallow water under bright light.
Speckled Trout fishing peaks between December and March but can be caught into the summer. On warm days trout can be found in shallow water and near drop-offs. If the weather turns cold, these fish will often move to deeper water. March and April tend to be the prime time for rounding up sheepshead. Throw shrimp around rocks and jetties and you are sure to get hooked on sheepshead.
Aransas Pass Flats Fishing for Redfish
Late summer to fall is the redfish run ahead of their winter spawn. This is when you will get the big bull reds coming in and get your shot at a new personal best. Throwing live or artificial bait around jetties, and shallow bars can bring success throughout the year. If you enjoy a challenge, sight fishing for reds on the grass flats is bound to test your skills and make your heart race.
