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.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

    The trip with Captain Izzy on 7/20 was outstanding. I could have not picked a better guide for my experience. Captain Izzy was a pleasure to fish with, very knowledgeable and will without a doubt book a trip with him again the next time I’m in the Galveston area. Captain Izzy is very professional, the boat was immaculate, the gear provided was top notch. I only have exceptionally good words to say about my trip with him. I look forward to fishing with him again. Thank you Captain Izzy for an outstanding morning.

    Captain Robert and his First Mate Jason were very knowledgeable and professional. They kept us entertained while going from from one fishing spot to another. Captain Robert’s experience and knowledge of the Gulf help him to put us on the fish that we wanted to catch.on a scale of 1-10 he gets a solid 10. We will fish with him again.

    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.

    Oh, man, let me tell you about this fishing charter in Galveston. If you want an adventure on the high seas that rivals Moby Dick without the depressing ending, book a trip with Captain Sean and his first mate Abbie. These folks know their stuff. So, we start the day with my stepdad, bless his heart, hooking a stingray. Yeah, you read that right. He thought he was reeling in a sea monster. The water was choppy, and I was starting to think this was gonna be a long day of nothing but stories about the one that got away. But Captain Sean, the Gandalf of the Gulf, says, "Hold my beer," and finds us the perfect spot. The man’s a fish whisperer. I don't know how he does it. One minute, we’re fighting the waves, thinking we’re gonna spend the day swapping sea shanties, and the next, we’re reeling in trout like it’s a fish buffet. Captain Sean knows every nook and cranny of that ocean like it’s his backyard. And let’s not forget Abbie, the deckhand. She’s like the ninja of fishing. You need a new bait? She’s got it before you even ask. Tangled line? She’s on it. The only thing she can’t do is make your stepdad catch anything other than weird sea creatures. By the end of the trip, we had caught our limit. We were tired, sunburned, and grinning like idiots. It was one of those days you remember forever. If you’re looking for a fishing trip that’ll make you feel like you’re in a Hemingway novel, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Sean and Abbie. Five stars aren’t enough for these legends.

    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
