Finding the right Texas fishing guide for the lone star state's lunkers also depends on what type of fishing you want to pursue while you're there. With a long coast line stretching past the Gulf of Mexico, there is ample area for some of the finest salt water sports fishing you can find anywhere in the United States, with the coast split into three distinctive areas: the lower coast, the middle coast, and the upper coast. A good Texas fishing guide can lead you to the best spots to chase those trophies. Some of the many species of saltwater fish include flounder, black drum, red fish, bull reds, sharks and tarpon.

Aside from salt water fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, Texas also offers some of the best freshwater fishing anyone could ask for. Aside from being famous for having great largemouth bass lakes, a Texas fishing guide can also lead you to cutthroat, rainbow, lake, and brown trout – all of which are located throughout the state and should make avid trout fishermen, especially those fly fishermen. The brown trout are the hardest to catch because they prefer really cold water, while rainbows aren't bothered. A good Texas fishing guide can also lead you to steelhead, trout which have gone to the sea and fattened up before returning to fresh water as huge fish.

Texas is also full of a wide variety of pan fish, a favorite among many fishermen. All different types of perch and crappie can be caught all across the state, and many anglers believe there are few fish better than to tae right out of the lake and toss right into the pan. Any good Texas fishing guide can tell you where to catch them, as well. Rely on the local experts in whatever part of Texas you decide to fish and you can't go wrong.
