Spend the day with JGF Guide Service and find out what the fishing in Osage Beach is all about! With Captain Joe at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Sunfish, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. For these species, you're likely to use light tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Your excursion begins aboard a 21' Phoenix bass boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Brandi Wells5.0VerifiedVery personable and knowledgeable.
6 Hour Trip (AM) on April 9, 2026 • 2 adultsOur guide was on time and ready to go. He is very knowledgeable about the lake. He knew where all the channels were, breeding areas natural springs, etc. We caught 12-13 nice sized bass. He was very accommodating and was quick to fix any issue with equipment that arose. He was easy to talk to and had us back right on time. We will definitely be using him again. Great experience!
Timothy HoltRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHard fishing day great experience and captain
6 Hour Trip (AM) on February 28, 2026 • 3 adultsHad a great time! Fluctuations in weather and just an off day. He tried really hard to get us fish but they did t seem to be biting and heard from every boat that we came across. Captain was awesome and patient with new angler and was trying his best to rig things up to get us on the fish.
Sharon PottsRepeat angler4.7VerifiedFather’s Day fishing trip.
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 15, 2025 • 4 adultsI was thrilled that he came to pick us up. He had an amazing amount of fishing poles, lures, and different fish finders. He knew exactly where to go and he told us why we were fishing there and we caught fish. My only complaint is I would have liked Joe to spend less time fishing and more time helping my husband catch fish, because this was his Father’s Day present. We all had a great experience. I would give him a 4.5. I could only give him a four or five so I chose a five.
Gaylene Alderson5.0VerifiedGreat trip with Joe!
