How much do Texas surf fishing charters cost?

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 on a surf fishing charter in Texas?

    We had an amazing time on this trip. Our guides were fun and made the trip great. Worth every penny to be able to catch 3 different sharks in our time frame that we had!

    Trip: Morning Shark Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Jason was great. Fishing started out slow on the long baits. So Jason set out some poles out in the surf for my son to catch some pup sharks. My son caught three and this kept him engaged. Then the big reel started screaming. All in all great morning.

    We all had a great time with Tristan and his crew! These guys are awesome! We unfortunately didn't get a fish, but that's fishing. They had some fun beach games to play and we all had a great time together! Definitely will be back with Tristan!

    Trip: Evening Surf Fishing For Sharks

    We didn't get a hit, but learned about the process and had a great time. Tristan and Corbit were great. There may have been a snag with the booking and guide schedule coordination, but Tristan resolved the double booking glitch. Booking agent was unable to answer basic questions about the trip, but better information with call back.

    Tristan and Benny were really great with our large group, continually answered questions and attentive. We unfortunately didn't get any bites but we plan to book again and would recommend them for any group size. Thanks for making our charter so much fun. Greatest 50th birthday ever!!

    This guys passion and dedication to doing what he loves is absolutely incredible and 100% genuine. Fantastic trip for my Son and I to be a part of Jason getting this 8’ 7” Tiger Shark notched in his belt this year.

    Trip: Shark Fishing Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Did a half day trip with Tristan, and was thoroughly impressed. Very quick and efficient with set up and getting baits out. We caught 2 nice sharks and had a few more on. Tristan takes the time he needs to with less experienced anglers and gets them where they need to be. Very effective communicator when asked questions. The best guided experience I’ve had. If you’re going to be in the corpus area and want to go fish for sharks, I can’t recommend him enough!
