We booked with Captain Brien who by the way was very friendly and professional. Our grandson really enjoyed his help and guidance. There was some confusion about the trip which was immediately resolved by Captain Brien. The confusion was we were wanting a trout trip and the trip we were on wasn’t for trout so Brien called Captain Charlie Weyer and helped set up a trout trip a couple of days later. Also Captain Brien didn’t charge us for his guided trip which is a rare trait in a person nowadays. We want to thank Captain’s Brien and Charlie for two great fishing trips. Thanks guys we will book again

I booked the 4 hour fishing charter and it was beyond worth it. Captain Brien put us on spots that produced wide varieties of species. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept us entertained with stories. The boat was extremely high-end and spacious and the technology onboard ensured that we were always where the fish were. We caught bluegill, largemouth bass, white bass, walleye, and a massive catfish. I highly encourage anyone looking for a good charter to catch fish and have a good time for all ages to take this one—you won’t regret it!!
My two boys and I had a great trip with Brien. Fish weren’t biting particularly well but he moved us around and had great equipment to find them. He was also patient with the kids and showed us what to do. We all caught multiple bass. Recommend doing a 3-4 hour trip (or more) to ensure you have the time to change spots a few times. We did 4 hours and it was a good balance between finding fish and not being too long for the younger kids.
Wow y’all, this trip was a core memory all the way! We got to take our preteen boys on their first guided experience and the standard was set WAY high! Brien, the expert guide, was the reason the experience was top notch! These Texans will be booking him again in the near future. Brien was able to read the needs of all our families levels of experience and multi-task like a boss. We got to a spot and caught fish after fish within minutes! His boat was very clean and set up comfortable for our family of four. He has the best up-to-date equipment on a new boat. He kept everyone comfortable with his fun easy going personality. We laughed, we relaxed, we cheered, and we got to enjoy the beautiful Table Rock Lake backdrop. The price was a steal considering his level of experience, top equipement, and his ability to adapt to his customers needs. If you’re thinking about a guided fishing trip, book Brien now, you will not regret it!

Had a great time with you and your family!Looking forward to the next time!!
Captain Brien was absolutely fantastic. We caught 43 fish total, including spotted bass, white bass, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass, and had an incredible day on the water. He was extremely personable, made everyone feel comfortable from the start, and was very knowledgeable about the lake and the fish. What impressed me most was how well he worked with each person at their own skill level. Whether you were experienced or just getting started, he made sure everyone was involved, learning, and catching fish. No one ever felt left out. Captain Brien knew exactly where to go and what techniques to use to keep us on fish throughout the day. His patience, guidance, and positive attitude made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Captain Brien to anyone looking for a great fishing experience, and we plan on making this an annual trip. Thanks again for an unforgettable day!
