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.

    Corey was great. My wife and I took a weekend trip down to Port Aransas for our anniversary and decided to book a half day fishing trip with him. He took us to several spots throughout the morning. While we ended up with four trout in the cooler, we were constantly catching fish….lots of smaller trout, a few oversized ones, and even a monster redfish. All in all, it was a really fun day on the water. Corey is personable, easygoing, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and low-stress. It was a great way to spend the morning and I’d definitely book with him again.

    Cory was a great guide. He really tried to put us on fish on what was otherwise a slow day. He is a good guy with good stories. I will use him again next time I am in Port A.
