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.

    Had a great time, took a bit to find the fish but he kept working at it and we ended up with a good cooler full.

    Trip: Port A Family Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Outstanding trip. Excellent equipment and knowledge of the area. We took the airboat and I loved it. Lots of guides out there popping up in the Rockport area....but you can't beat someone who has been at it for 30+ years.

    Captain Corey was awesome, I definitely recommend using him as a guide! He communicated well before the trip, and morning of. He has a calm demeanor, easy to talk to. He knows good spots, put us on the fish right before a storm. Great trip.

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time with Captain Andrew and team catching fish and navigating the waves. We were put right on the best areas to catch the snapper we were after. Also, when we forgot a jacket onboard in all the excitement of disembarking, Captain Andrew went out of his way to get it back to us. Thank you for helping make my husbands birthday one to remember!

    Fished with Nino while down for a bachelor party and had an absolute blast. Many of the guys hadn't fished in a while but Nino showed em the ropes and had high quality tackle and plenty of bait. Put us on a nice flounder and countless specks. Thank Nino, will be back soon! – 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 Tommy was a blast. A very upfront and honest fella. Very nice conversation and a funny guy. This was our first guided trip on the bay, and he put us on the fish quickly. I have a new saying now, Burn It ! You'll find out out once your there, captain will surely let you know, lol. We look forward to booking more trips. Thanks Capt.

    We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.
