just what we needed!
4 Hour Trip on August 17, 20262 adults

Great Day on Table Rock Lake! 🎣 We had such a great time fishing on Table Rock Lake yesterday! Our captain was absolutely fantastic—fun, personable, and full of fishing stories. He had us laughing the entire time. I’m pretty sure I almost cried from laughing a few times! 😂 And we definitely caught fish! We brought in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, and even catfish. 🎣 The walleye definitely eluded us, but we tried! Maybe next time! 😉 It was such a fun day on the water, and we made some great memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain or a better day. We would definitely recommend this trip and can’t wait to do it again!

Excellent fishing trip with Brien
2 Hour Trip - 6:00 AM on August 4, 20262 adults1 child

We were a husband, wife and 4 year old girl with next to no experience and looking for someone to help guide us through fishing on the lake. Brien was even better than we hoped. Not only was his boat really modern with a lot of helpful kit to find the fish but he was also really friendly and easy to talk to. He was especially great with our 4 year old and made sure she got to hold a couple of our catches with a fish gripper for photos. The highlight of our session was catching a >20lb carp but we also caught bluegill and bass. If we find time to do another trip we would definitely look to book Brien!

outstanding Morning
4 Hour Trip on July 29, 20264 adults

We had an outstanding trip with Brien! From the moment we left the dock, it was a quick run to the first fishing spot, and within minutes we had bent poles and fish coming over the side. Brien worked hard the entire trip, keeping our hooks baited, making sure we had quality equipment, and keeping us fishing instead of messing with gear. He was easy to talk to, making the day enjoyable with great conversation while still staying focused on putting us on fish. Even after the bite slowed down, Brien never gave up. He kept moving us to productive spots and worked hard to keep us on the fish until the end of the trip. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who works hard and makes sure you have a great experience, I highly recommend Brien. We’d gladly book another trip with him!

Best save ever
2 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on July 15, 20262 adults1 child

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

Fabulous First Family Guided Fishing Trip!!!
2 Hour Trip - 4:00 PM on June 27, 20262 adults2 children

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!
