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.

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!

Best Guide In Branson!
4 Hour –Table Rock on November 23, 20254 adults2 children
Captain Bryan was very knowledgeable and great with the kids! he took the time to answer all their questions and educate them. He got the fish off fast! His boat was big enough to accommodate 4 big guys and 2 younger boys. I just hope he doesn't realize he isn't charging enough before I have the opportunity to make it back! (For those without a sense of humor: The price is very fair, for the experience he provides.)

An enjoyable 4 hours finding and catching fish.
4 Hour –Table Rock on July 15, 20254 adults2 children
Each of our group of 6 men caught keepable fish and learned much from our guide, Captain Bryan. He was patient in explaining the methods to catch different species, in answering our questions, baiting hooks, unhooking fish and getting our photos holding them, which he forwarded later. He knew the productive spots and worked hard to get us the fish we took home. As a life long beach fisherman, I highly recommend Badock's fishing guide service, their expert knowledge of lake fishing and plan call on Bryan again.

4 Hour Trip – Table Rock (11 AM) on August 29, 20252 adults
We booked Bryan for a 4 hour trip and everything went perfect. Bryan Badock went out of his way to make sure everything went perfect. From booking, communication, ro meeting up to catching a ton of Bass. Bryan was a professional from start to finish. We come to Branson twice a year and will definitely e calling him again. Thanks for a great time Bryan.

Get Ready for a REALLY great time!!!
4 Hour –Table Rock on April 8, 20254 adults2 children
We had a TERRIFIC time with Captain Bryan. Although the day was COLD, my wife and I took our 4 grandkids (17,14,12.10; the 12-yr old was a girl) out for a half day trip. Bryan was AMAZING...so patient with the inevitable crossed lines and snags. He went out of his way to remember all the kid's names and got into the good-natured teasing business when one of the GKs began to compete with the others. They all agreed that Bryan was THE BEST part of our full week trip. We can't wait to go back!!!

4 Hour Trip – Table Rock (12pm) on July 11, 20253 adults3 children
It was a hot day and Bryan found fish for us to catch. He was awesome with the boys - even showing our 13 year old how his equipment worked. He showed me the dam and let us get in the water to cool off. We highly recommend booking with him!
