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 jigging charter in Matagorda?

    Trip: Texas Coastal Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Absolutely 5 stars!! If I could rate it 10 stars… I WOULD. Man did we get lucky, paid for the nearshore 8 hours and Captain Rodney was nice enough to have his offshore boat come pick us up 20 miles offshore to take us deep sea fishing because we wanted to catch red snappers. Captain Jeb and James were the best of the best in what they do as well! All around amazing trip! Definitely coming back to get that Amberjack trip!

    Trip: A Nearshore Party In Paradise

  • ★★★★★
    Capt Rodney was wonderful. At the beginning of trip he asked what we were looking for during this fishing trip. We said we wanted some good fish. After getting our Red Snapper limit very quickly we had a lot of time left so he asked if we wanted to fill ice chest or try for some other game fish. We wanted to try for better game fish. We headed further out in search of fish. He spotted some floating grass so we trolled for some Mahi. Got one and missed one. We then headed out again. We then stopped and rigged up trying to find some tuna. On first pass we hooked up on a Wahoo for a good fight and catch. We continued to troll hooking up on more Wahoo and BkackFin Tuna. We finished up and headed back in due to storms in our area. All in all it was a great trip, not only because of the catches we made but because of Captain Rodney. He took the time to make this “our trip” and a trip we would remember. Captain Rodney was a wonderful Captain and Host. We will be back to see him. Thanks Captain Rodney.

    Trip: 10 Hour Offshore Expedition

  • ★★★★★
    We had several fish on our wish list that we wanted to try and catch and Captain Rodney did everything he could to make it happen. We took the 12hr trip and made several long runs going after black fin tuna and grouper but they just weren’t cooperating that day. Went for the Red Snapper and we killed them. They were huge and finished up the day with my son catching a 7ft 400lb bull shark and fighting it for over 1.5hrs before getting it in. Captain Rodney was very helpful in making sure he landed the fish even though they knew it was going to put him getting back late. It was a great experience for all of us and will most definitely be booking another trip with him in the future
