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.

    Trip: 3/4 Day Bay + Jetty Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    We enjoyed our morning captainexperiences.com fishing trip in Galveston very much. Captain Brenden was enthusiastic and ready to go the moment we stepped onto the boat. One could tell that he cared very much about our experience, and time and time again he put the maximum effort into making sure our every need was taken care of. We really appreciated his knowledge and the big high five he gave us each time we caught a red fish, drum, or shark. The boat was well maintained, and the scenery at sunrise was in a word, breathtaking. Captain Brenden was friendly with all of the other boat captains, and we enjoyed the way he joyfully networked with the other vessels to ensure we arrived at the best fishing spots. We also very much appreciated that he filleted and packaged our fish shortly after arriving back at the dock. Overall, we had a lot of fun, and we would recommend another trip with Captain Brenden to our friends.

    The trip was amazing, comfortable, and just a good time fishing in the ocean. The bean boat bags were perfect, helping us take a nap while we were cruising to the deep ocean. Went home with an ice chest full of fish meat. It was a great time. Thank you Chris!
