Hoping to go fishing in Branson? Look no further than Excel Fishing Charters!

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Walleye, Steelhead, Brown Trout, Crappie, Hybrid Striped Bass, Smallmouth, and more, depending on the season. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Blake also offers fly fishing and will include the necessary gear.

Any fish within the legal limit are yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Talk about bang for your buck! Trips with Excel Fishing Charters are open to the whole family, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Capt. Blake is excellent with kids! It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray).

Capt. Blake will bring you aboard a 20’ Aluminum fishing that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. The captain will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You’ll need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Get in touch with Capt. Blake below and start planning your trip today!
