Owned and operated by Captain Brien Vaughn, Hooked on Branson Fishing offers year-round guided trips on Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals, and Lake Taneycomo – three of the most productive fisheries in the Ozarks.

Captain Brien is a full-time guide and professional tournament angler with over 30 years of experience on the water. He competes in both the MLF and BASS circuits, and has qualified for the 2022 BFL All-American and the 2023 BASS National Team Championship. Whether you're a seasoned angler or stepping onto a boat for the first time, Brien tailors each trip to your experience level. Custom packages are available and can accommodate groups of all sizes.

You’ll be fishing from a brand-new 2024 iKon LX21 powered by a Mercury 250 four-stroke, equipped with tournament-grade rods, reels, and tackle. With cutting-edge electronics such as Lowrance HDS LIVE and advanced GPS trolling motors, Brien uses the latest technology to get you on fish quickly and effectively.

Target species include Bass, Crappie, Walleye, and Trout. Brien will teach you how to locate, pattern, and catch the species you’re after, as well as the most productive seasonal techniques. Crappie, Walleye, and Trout may be kept within regulations, and Brien will gladly clean your catch free of charge upon request.

Bring sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and a valid fishing license. All fishing equipment is provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer. A military discount is proudly offered.

Brien can meet you on the water at your preferred location. He will contact you the evening before your trip to confirm the pickup spot and final details.

6 Hour Trip on October 25, 20254 adults
Eric was awesome! The weather was less than ideal but he got us on fish early then the bite died down a bit later in the morning / noon timeframe. Excellent guide that was knowledgeable, professional, and an overall good dude! We had a lot of laughs and he tought us all a few things along the way. The boat and gear were top notch and would absolutely call him again if we took another trip down this way.

I am a repeat customer. I am an experienced fisherman using baitcasters and Captain Brien has consistently put me on the fish. His equipment is top notch and his knowledge of the lake is unparalleled. This time I took my two young nephews and it was another epic trip. He was an incredibly patient teacher with the boys and they caught fish all afternoon. They haven’t stopped talking about it and it has been their favorite activity they have done so far while in Branson. In short, we think Captain Brien is the best and we will be back!!!!

Perfect day… Book the trip!
July Special!! $50 off party of 3-4 on August 8, 20251 adult2 children
I booked a trip for my 2 boys (10 and 12) who are obsessed with fishing… Brien had all 5 star reviews so figured we couldn’t go wrong. We had the best day! I had so much fun watching the fish on the sonar before they would bite on their lines. My kiddos learned a lot about ways to fish for different kinds of fish and what tackle to use. We had tons of laughs, some shenanigans, and the best last day of vacation. Book with Brien- he was awesome! (Thank you so much!)

Captain Brien was great! Me (dad), my 16 & 14 year old boys. It was our first time on the lake and the experience was everything we could ask for. We met the captain at the Baxter marina at 6am for a 2 hour trip. The captain knew exactly where to go. We caught 8 (a few bass, catfish and a few bluegills). We appreciated the time on the lake and it would be great to have Captain Brien take us…every time!
