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 Mike was incredible! I booked this fishing trip for my husband and brother in law as a surprise for Father’s Day and he was very patient and thorough with me. (I knew nothing about fishing). He is also very kind and his fishing skills are top tier! And best of all he definitely helped them catch some pretty nice size fish! We will definitely be booking Captain Mike again.

    Bill and Dylan were our guides. They did outstanding! We had a great time. They were both very attentive to the experienced and inexperienced people on our trip! We caught a ton of fish, and a few sharks. We appreciate all their hard work and would recommend the two of them for anyone's future fishing needs!

    Christopher N. with Jason W. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Charles was a great guide. The bite was slow that day for everyone but he made the day so enjoyable for me and my father. He was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and feeding habits of the fish. He helped cast for individuals who had trouble casting and gave tips on how to cook and prepare the fish we caught. We will be booking with Captain Charles again when we come back, highly recommend.

    Dustin S. with Charles B. of Galveston, Texas

    Michael did an excellent job giving us opportunities to reel in a limit of trout. He put us into some sheltered areas to accomplish this due to turbulent waves in the bay. Great customer service. Michael’s experience led us to book with him.

    Richard H. with Michael M. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Cody did an excellent job. He got us on fish quickly and made the experience fun.

    Wendell J. with Blake S. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time. Such a great experience and appreciate the help making memories. Captain Derek with Reel man fishing charters was friendly, knew where to go to catch fish and genuinely cared to give us a good fishing experience.

    Paul S. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Storm the day before put the bite off, but we caught lots of Catfish, several near 5 lbs, so my grandson enjoyed that. Capt Mike worked for his money, constantly repositioning the boat to our advantage & taking us out to try for Sharks upon our request. He kept the language clean, which, knowing alot of Sailors, was a bonus...He also made sure my grandson had an approved life vest & hooked and passed a couple of the bigger fish to him. Overall, I'd charter with him again for sure. A+++

    Robert E. with Mike E. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great trip with Captain Derek!! Reeling in the big fish, lots of laughs, and learned some Galveston history to top it off! Thank you Captain Derek! We will definitely be back!! Fish on!!!
