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.

Does Texas have good fishing?
Texas is widely considered a prime destination for fishing, offering a wealth of opportunities across its diverse landscapes. From the Gulf Coast to the numerous lakes and rivers throughout the state, Texas provides a variety of fishing experiences that cater to different preferences and skill levels. The state’s expansive coastline offers excellent saltwater fishing, where anglers can target species such as redfish, trout, and flounder.
