What is included in the trip price?
Everything. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Your professional licensed guide, all safety equipment, and access to our 7-boat fleet are included. You bring a valid Texas freshwater fishing license, food and drinks for the day, and a hat. That's it.

What if the weather is bad?
If we cancel due to unsafe weather, your deposit transfers to a rescheduled date at no charge. We do not cancel unless conditions are genuinely unsafe — alligator gar fishing happens rain or shine in normal Texas summer weather.
When is alligator gar fishing season?
Fishing season runs April through September. Peak action is June through August when water temperatures are highest and gar feed most aggressively on the Trinity River. Hog hunting is available year-round. Book early — summer weekend dates fill fast.
Can I add extra hours to my trip?
Yes. All trips start at 6 hours and extra time can be added on the day if conditions are good. In 2027, additional hours are billed at $150 per hour. Discuss extended options with your guide when booking.
Why are prices going up in 2027?
Rising fuel, equipment, and operational costs require a modest rate adjustment for 2027. Current 2026 pricing of $850/boat is in effect through the end of September 2026. Booking now locks in today's rates for the world's #1 alligator gar guide service — 41 IGFA World Records, 28 celebrity clients, 258+ five-star reviews.
