We came hoping to catch a few fish…and quickly lost count! 🎣 Our guide clearly has the fish on speed dial because he put us right where the action was. Even in the middle of a heat wave, he kept us laughing, comfortable, and catching fish nonstop. The hours disappeared faster than our bait! Our two teenage boys were completely hooked from start to finish. And devoured our fresh catch later that night! If you’re looking for a guide who knows where the fish are, keeps everyone entertained, and makes you feel like a pro, book now! Fair warning: you may need a bigger cooler!

Thanks Cara! I appreciate your business greatly!
My kids and I had a wonderful time fishing today with Captain Eric! Since it was their first time fishing in Missouri, it was great having a true local who has fished here his whole life guide us. I usually take the back seat and help the kids with their snags and poles as needed, but Captain Eric took charge of the entire morning — and even Mom got to catch a fish! He was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, and he stayed in touch with me leading up to our booking to make sure everything went smoothly. We definitely encourage others to give him a try if you’re looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable trip!

Thanks so much Erin. I had a blast with you all!! I appreciate your business greatly!
Mike Gold provided the best service these WYOMING BOYS could’ve hoped for and provided memories that will last a lifetime. Booked a 4hr Bass Trip as part of my sons graduation trip. After being told the fish were scattered around due to the heavy rain over the weekend, I was a little worried, but we still managed to reel in over 10 bass each. Mike was a great guide, super knowledgeable, and just an all around awesome dude. Anyone that gets the chance to fish with Mike Gold would be a fool to pass it up.

Thanks Tate! We appreciate your business greatly
Eric is truly Elite. He showed us what the fish were doing, how to catch them and isentify them. he also has a great personality. We had a great time and we would highly recommend. he is as excited about young kids as he an elderly couple that has never fished before. we will definitely try to see if we can fish with Eric again in the future. looking forward to fishing the next few days using these techniques. Thanks Eric! if you ever want to do a hunting trip, please let me know.

Had an absolute blast with you all today! Best of luck the rest of the week. I appreciate your business greatly!!
This is my second time put with Mr. O. My Buddy and I had a great time, caught lots of fish, and got out of our comfort zones with different fishing techniques. Don’t get me started on the Phoenix boat and electronics. I am a huge fan of bass fishing and Mr. O’s set up is top notch. He was able to find some really good spots for us and was patient whn we made mistakes. He even would get our hooks unstuck. He is a top tier guide with over 20 years of experience. We will be booking with him again in the near future.

Youre badass Camille! I look forward to the next time. I appreciate your business greatly!

Captain Eric has had a passion for fishing since he was just 3 years old. His grandfather was a resort owner and world record holder for Brown trout on the famed white river in Arkansas and he had a huge impact on Captain Eric. Some of Captain Eric's most vivid memories as a kid were spending time with his grandfather on the river. Captain Eric was just 10 when his grandfather passed away, and he had no idea that he was going to follow in his footsteps. You truly never know in what ways you may have an influence on children. Growing up, he would plant himself in front of the television with all his fishing gear and watch fishing shows. He used to dream of hoisting a big trophy on the National stage. In 2019, he fulfilled his dream happened by holding the trophy in the FLW Costa Series event on Table Rock Lake! He felt as his grandfather was with him that day!
