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.

    Ross was an amazing guide and allowed us to experience the trip we wanted too. He knew we were set on hooking something big for the day and he took us out to some amazing areas and we got on 2 big amazing fish with some smaller catches. We intend on being repeat customer with Ross in the future and he truly made my sons birthday weekend one for the books. THANK YOU CAPTAIN ROSS FROM THE TREVINO FAMILY!!!

    Captain Joe was awesome!! He was very helpful with my little one and my wife. We all were able to catch something, even thought they were a little too small to keep. We all had a great time. We will definitely use captain Joe again, highly recommend him for your next guide trip.

    Alex was an Amazing guide! We caught our limit 1/2 thru the trip! Captain Alex DEFINITELY knows how to find the fish! We were on the Reds right away! It was awesome seeing the school(s) of Reds and watching Captain Alex maneuver the boat and basically chase them down! After we hit our limit we went for Sheep Head and Black Drum. Wanna go “fishing” call anyone…wanna go “CATCHING” call Captain Alex! Brian & Dylan Silvert

    Got out with Mitch for a buddy's bachelor party and had an absolute blast! Some of the guys hadn't fished in a while (or at all) but Mitch was super patient in showing them the ropes. Mitch fishes super high quality tackle, had plenty of bait, and the boat was running smooth. We ripped it to a number of spots from surf fishing outside the jetties to countless inshore spots. We missed a few bites but had an awesome time, thanks Mitch! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    We were down fishing with Chris for a buddy's bachelor party and had an awesome time out there. Chris warned us ahead of time that conditions were tough, but we decided to brave the elements. Chris took us around to multiple spots all across West Bay. He put us on countless trout under the birds before we had to make it back. Will be back and can't wait, thanks Chris! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    “An Outstanding Guide Captain!” I had the privilege of joining Captain Alex a recent trip and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, Captain Alex displayed unmatched professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for his work. His knowledge of the area, from its history to its hidden gems, was incredible. Captain Alex] kept us engaged with fascinating stories and answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. His ability to navigate challenging situations with ease and ensure everyone’s safety and comfort was truly commendable. We had no issues achieving our limits. What stood out most was his warm and approachable demeanor. He made us feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a guide captain who goes above and beyond, Captain Alexis is the one to choose.

    Captain Leb was a great guide! It was my 2nd time red fishing. He gave me a lot of tips on how to fish for the red fish that were extremely helpful. We caught many red, black drum, and flounder and he filet out take homes to how we requested. I will definitely book with him again next year.
