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.

    Captain Joe was awesome!! He was very helpful with my little one and my wife. We all were able to catch something, even thought they were a little too small to keep. We all had a great time. We will definitely use captain Joe again, highly recommend him for your next guide trip.

    Alex was an Amazing guide! We caught our limit 1/2 thru the trip! Captain Alex DEFINITELY knows how to find the fish! We were on the Reds right away! It was awesome seeing the school(s) of Reds and watching Captain Alex maneuver the boat and basically chase them down! After we hit our limit we went for Sheep Head and Black Drum. Wanna go “fishing” call anyone…wanna go “CATCHING” call Captain Alex! Brian & Dylan Silvert

    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.

    Trip: Laguna Madre Half Day

  • ★★★★★
    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
