We had an unforgettable trip with Captain Brian today. From the moment we stepped onto his clean, comfortable boat, we knew we were in good hands. He kept us on fish for the entire three-hour trip and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The biggest reason we booked this trip was because my wife’s dad, Bob, has Alzheimer’s, and there was one fish left on his bucket list—a walleye. We had already been told by several other guides that finding one just wasn’t likely. Brian didn’t make empty promises. He simply smiled and said, “I’ll give it hell. I know where they should be.” Sure enough, today we watched Bob catch a beautiful walleye. Seeing the excitement on his face was something our family will never forget. Those memories become even more meaningful when someone you love is living with Alzheimer’s, and Captain Brian understood how important this was to us. He made it happen through hard work, experience, and determination. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who puts in the effort and truly cares about giving his clients a memorable experience, Captain Brian is the one to book. Thank you for helping us create a memory our family will treasure forever.
Thank you matt! I appreciate you giys coning out and glad i could be apart of this experience!
Fishing Captain Bryan was an all around great experience with exceptional service and knowledge. Great with our 7 year old, 2 teenagers and 3 men. All of us with various fishing skills. Clean and comfortable boat. Captain Byran was in good contact with us prior to trip. Never had to wonder what was happening. Guided us to a pick up location so did not have to spend hours on the water to the perfect spot. Definitely recommend Badock's Guide Service.
thank you guys!
Before even booking Bryan has made himself 100% available for any questions text or call. That in itself already exceeded expectations. The weather leading up to the trip wasn't looking great but Bryan worked with it and around it even though it was Easter weekend. The prespawn made fish not want to fully commit at times but Bryans knowledge and persistence ultimately got us both hooked up on PB spotted bass and smallmouth. If I could give 1000 stars I would. We will definitely be using Bryan again. Thank You from Texas
thank you for the great review! I appreciate it much! and looking forward to getting you guys on some walleye next trip!
Captain Bryan Badock was fantastic! He is very professional, helpful and courteous. Within minutes of our first stop, we had fish in the boat, and this repeated at every additional stop. Caught small mouth, large mouth, and spotted bass, and Goggle Eye. We had a huge "surprise" fish that drug the boat around for about 15 minutes before we could finally see it, a 28.15 pound Carp (see photos). When we come back to Branson, we'll be signing up for another fishing trip with Bryan!
thank you for the great review! lookjng forward to seeing you guys next time!
Had an amazing trip with Captain Bryan! he even thought we weren’t going to do so good because of dams being turned off! he still put us on the fish and boy were they delicious! amazing trip amazing captain so much so we booked a trip for next day!!

Your captain
Growing up in the St. Louis area, I would take any and all opportunities I could to go fish bigger lakes that my area did not offer. As I got to college I fished for the university of Missouri's bass fishing team, traveling around the country fishing tournaments. When I graduated I decided to move to table rock lake and begin my career as a fishing guide. I wake up with a smile on my face being able to do what I love and share my knowledge to help create lasting memories for those wanting to fish. I pride myself on providing the best guide trips for my customers that I can whether they have never caught a fish before or are a seasoned tournament angler. Come on out and fish with me and we will have a great time!
