Trip of a lifetime!
3 hour trip on April 22, 20261 adult1 child

I am so thankful to have found Captain Jacob Wade of Real Deal Guide Service! He put my 12 year old son on 2 huge spoonbill, and made a little boys dreams come true. The boat was exceptional, and Captain Jacob was professional, extremely knowledgeable and was so kind to my to my son and I. Truly one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. I highly recommend him and we will definitely be back next year to fish with Real Deal Guide service! A+++++!

We had a wonderful time fishing. The fishing was good. The captain was extremely knowledgeable of the lake. He baited all hooks and removed all fish from our lines. I will definitely book with them again whenever we return to Branson.

I have always loved to fish. I used to drive to the lake and sit and wait just to see if anyone needed a partner in the tournaments often times I would get picked up. I got the opportunity through guide Mike Gold who set me up to start working with Eric's elite guide service. Gold helped me become a guide and it changed my life for the better. It's not about what you know it's about who you know .
