Badock's Guide Service runs angling trips out of Branson and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about. The captain offers trips on Table Rock Lake for Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass and Crappie depending on season. The summer season offers those as well as Walleye and Bluegill. Badock's Guide Service chases some Crappie in the spring as well.

Also, they offer trout trips for Rainbow and Brown Trout on Lake Taneycomo, stocked regularly with 10-15' trout. Great fun for all ages and all experience levels.

We specialize in both small groups and large groups up to 6 so bring the whole family out for a fun day on the water!

Capt. Bryan will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle, bottom fishing, drift fishing, and jigging, all to get you on that bite. This involves 2 to 8-hour trips, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Rates include all gear expect mo fishing license. Tips are not included in set rates.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 22' lowe bay boat comfortably able to fish up to 6 guests

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. We use all spinning gear and baitcasting.

Don't forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!

We do all catch and release on bass, but if you want to fish to eat we target white bass, bluegill, crappie, trout and walleye depending on seasons.

You'll find free snacks, and drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

Children are welcome aboard so you're good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Badock's Guide Service and make memories for a lifetime!

Great Experience
6 Hour Trip – Table Rock - 7:00 AM on June 23, 20265 adults1 child

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.

4 Hour Trip – Table Rock (11 AM) on April 5, 20262 adults

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

6 Hour Trip – Table Rock on April 22, 20262 adults

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!
