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 spanish mackerel fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for spanish mackerel fishing in Texas is summer, and most anglers book their trips 19 days in advance.

    I would highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Corey. He’s a great guy who worked really hard to get us on the fish. We had a good time fishing and will definitely book him the next we are in Port Aransas.

    Trip: Port A Inshore/Jetty Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Lance is amazing! He knows the waters he fishes in and was very motivated for my group to catch fish and have a great time. He was not stingy with his gas either. If we weren't catching we moved until we did. And our rods always had bait, no matter what. He manages his boat like true professional. Captain Lance is also a good man and easy to talk to. You will have a great time and catch fish.
