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.
What month is best for on a live bait fishing charter in Galveston?

I had a great time fishing with Cody Philips on an inshore trip this past weekend! Cody was extremely professional, had excellent communication from start to finish, and knew exactly where to find the fish. He kept us on the fish throughout the trip, and we had a blast! You can tell he knows what he's doing and genuinely enjoys putting his clients on fish. I highly recommend Cody to anyone looking for a great inshore fishing experience. I'll definitely be booking another trip with him in the future!

Anthony was great company and he knew just where to take us so we could have a good trip! Even got to see dolphins and catch a shark which was unique for us… I recommend Anthony and I will 100% book with him again next time we make it out to Galveston!
