Mid-American Anglers’ Guide Service welcomes you on a lake fishing trip out of Branson, Missouri. Come to Lake Taneycomo and enjoy a nice family outing or a getaway for the boys or girls. Captain Jack Harris will pick your party up any place that fits your group’s needs. He’ll use his vast experience and knowledge of the lake to make your trip productive and enjoyable. Book today and have a memorable time fishing in Missouri.

The adventure starts on a 20’ Lowe 2070 center console that can fit up to 5 guests. It’s powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine and rigged with GPS and a fishfinder, all contributing to a safe and efficient reach to the fishing grounds. The boat uses a wireless trolling motor so you can make a more tactful approach to the fish. Also, there’s an onboard livewell to provide live bait.

You and Captain Jack will be searching the lake for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Crappie. To attract them, you can use light and heavy tackle, trolling, spinning, jigging, fly fishing, and drift fishing. You’re free to take your catch home and enjoy some lovely meals with your family or friends. Kids are more than welcome to come aboard, so bring them along and have a wonderful family day on the water.

Captain Jack will supply rods, tackle, and lures. Feel free to bring a small cooler with your drinks or snacks. Also, don’t forget your fishing licenses.

Captain Jack has been fishing Lake Taneycomo for 12 years. During this time he has seen a lot of changes to the lake and watched the fish habits change during every season. The captain became a guide because he loves to teach what he has learned and would love to book a trip with you! Kid-friendly and family-friendly.
