What types of tilapia fishing trips are common in Houston?

River fishing is the most popular type of fishing for tilapia in Houston as well as lake fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Houston are bowfishing, heavy tackle fishing, and live bait fishing but cut bait fishing and sight casting are popular as well.

How much does a Houston tilapia fishing trip cost?

Prices for tilapia in Houston can range anywhere from about $810 to $1,290, but the average price for a half day trip for tilapia in Houston is $1,050.

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 tilapia fishing in Houston?

The most popular season for tilapia fishing in Houston is spring, and most anglers book their trips 36 days in advance.

    Very satisfied with the trip we did with Mark. He was very knowledge and worked hard to get us in the fish. Very personable with a great attitude, and the supplied gear worked great. Would not hesitate to book with him again!!!
