Payable’s Branson Area Fishing Trips
Payable’s Branson Area Fishing Trips
Make a fun family fishing trip part of your vacation plans while in Branson. Capt Bruce loves having kids on the boat and the boat has room for up to 6 people. It has a potty behind a privacy curtain providing a comfortable day for everyone.
Through all four seasons Capt Bruce will put you on the best bite of the day on the best lake or river for the day. The White River and Dam system create some of the best fishing waters anywhere in the world teeming with great eating fish as well as trophy class Trout on Lake Taneycomo. Trophy Trout fishing starts in January and last all year. Great eating Crappie, Walleye and White Bass fishing starts in February and runs through May. Great fun on “all species” deep water trolling trips that start in June and run through October. The Wooldridge Boat trolls deep water with planner boards and runs up to 10 lines at the same time spread over a wide area. This technique provides for a much greater catch rate than single line casting and evens the odds for those who are not expert casters. All lines are set and when the fish hits the next person up gets to fight the fish to the net.
Your on the water fishing time is not cut short for fish cleaning etc. When the Trip is over Capt Bruce perfectly cleans and bags your catch, ready for your freezer or frying pan. This normally takes an additional 45 minutes to an hour so plan your time accordingly. Payable Guide Service Trips are guaranteed! If you dont catch fish you don’t pay the Captain his balance, only the 15% deposit charged by Fishing Booker. There is a flip side to that coin. If you receive great service a generous tip to the Captain is appreciated. Look at the photos and comments and see how much fun and success people have had fishing with Payable Guide Service LLC.

Mark SaxonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day of catching!
Spring Crappie/White Bass Trip on May 8, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Bruce pulled out all of his tricks and knowledge to get us on fish even though the cold fronts the past few days have slowed the bite. Captain Bruce made sure we all caught fish and was super helpful and patient with 2 in our party that are inexperienced but after today they felt like champions of the sport with several big fish they both caught. Captain Bruce loves fishing and it shows in how he takes care of his clients. One of the best guided trip we’ve taken!

Table Rock Lake Trolling Summer on August 14, 2026 • 2 adultsAwesome time. Captain Bruce was patient and cery knowledgeable. I really respect the innovation of his northern roots fishing techniques that he has brought to the Ozarks. His methods work and he has fine tuned them to perfection.
Zach Bartak5.0VerifiedAwesome Fishing Experience!
Table Rock Lake Trolling Summer on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Bruce knew exactly where to go and what to use. We were catching fish before we even had all the poles in the water right up until we brought them in to head to the boat ramp. He was great with the kids and answered all their many questions.

Austin Swartz5.0VerifiedBruce Curtis is great!!
Table Rock Lake Trolling Summer on August 4, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenOur family had an amazing time fishing with Bruce Curtis on Lake Tenkiller! Bruce is an outstanding guide — super knowledgeable, patient, and knows the lake like the back of his hand. He put us right on the fish and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, Bruce makes sure you have a great experience. The boat was clean, the gear was top-notch, and his attitude made the day even better. Highly recommend booking a trip with Bruce — we’ll definitely be back!

Great crew today! Folks who love to fish and are very good at it!
Captain Bruce was a great guide. His set up to catch fish totally awesome. I am going to incorporate his ideas into what I am doing. Captain Bruce was professional and very knowledgeable. He explained all his equipment, techniques and knew exactly where the fish liked to hang out therefore we had a very successful day and caught 15 fish. Once back at the dock he cleaned and bagged our catch for us.
Captain Bruce was an awesome, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful guide. Would definitely fish with this guy again, me and my wife had a great time.
Great Couple! Fun day!
Captain Bruce thank you for taking us out! We caught 20+ bass and had a great time. Bruce is very knowledgable and able to get us on the fish within minutes. This trip is great for families or groups looking for a later start. All you need are your drinks, snacks, and sun protection. Then get ready for some bass.
great family, fun trip!
Awesome time. Captain Bruce was patient and cery knowledgeable. I really respect the innovation of his northern roots fishing techniques that he has brought to the Ozarks. His methods work and he has fine tuned them to perfection.
Fun time fishing with TJ and Bree!
