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.

Surfside Beach Fishing Overview
If you are headed to the Freeport area to fish then you're in for a treat. A stone's throw from Houston but significantly less crowded and fish than Galveston, this area has great inshore and offshore options. With such rich and bountiful waters, this is the perfect place for any angler to find success.
Inshore fishing Surfside Beach
If you've fished Texas you know what to expect here: big speckled trout, schooling redfish, and lots of flounder. With some luck, you might even find some tarpon in the surf. Half or full-day trips can both work to take advantage of some awesome inshore action. With inlets, channels, and bays everywhere you look, it's easy to see why the fishing is top-notch. Speckled trout have their peak bite in the spring followed by flounder in the summer. Giant bull redfish come in and bite hard during their fall spawning run and make for some memorable sight casting in skinny water.
