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!

Amazing day of trout fishing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 4, 20244 adults
Myself , 2 son in laws , and grandson had minimal trout fishing experience and the water conditions were not optimal the day we fished with captain Blake . Results ; we all caught our limit ! Captain Blake covered casting , line control , and hook set in detail Pryor to us fishing. Me being primarily a bass fisherman I still tried to set hook like I was on a 10 lb largemouth. Result ; broken line. Blake was very patient and after a few times I relaxed and eased into hook set and started putting trout in the boat. Blake was an extremely passionate and knowledgeable guide. He was easy to talk to , funny , yet professional. I would highly recommend Blake for your fishing trip. He is the best .

Blake is an amazing captian! Extremely personable and great to talk to. He knew exactly where to take us to get hooking trout quickly. He had everything we needed and taight us what we didn't know since we had never fished for trout before. I highly recommend messaging him before booking your trip to get any questions answered and to get the information you need to be able to book the best trip for what you are looking to do.
