Barber Fishing Guide Service offers the best fishing charter value and experience at Lake of the Ozarks!  Having logged decades on this lake, our team will help you catch the fish you want to pursue.

Our clients catch Crappie, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Blue Catfish, and more. (We do not offer Spoonbill fishing)

We utilize multiple techniques including casting, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, and catfish jugs.

You’re welcome to keep your catch of Crappie, Catfish, and White Bass up to your legal limit and we clean them for you. Largemouth bass are catch and release.

You’ll find yourself aboard a 19’ Bass boat with room for 2 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.  At the end of your charter we’ll take photos of your catch and you can enjoy our spacious private boat dock that has a fire pit, television, sofas, and complimentary beverages.  You’ll be very comfortable while we clean and package your fish catch. 

We provide quality rods, reels, bait, and tackle necessary to be successful.  Live bait is provided when needed to be successful.

Before coming aboard all anglers age 16 and over will need to purchase a Missouri fishing license.  You can purchase your license online from the MO Department of Conservation or a local retailer such as Walmart.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? If so check our our pontoon boat charters.  Kids are absolutely welcome on all of our charters and we love to teach them how to fish!

Children under age 8 are required by law to wear life vests and we have them on all of our vessels. We also provide complimentary bottled water and soft drinks and you can bring snacks if you’d like.

Though we have them on the boat, You may want to bring your own sunglasses and sunblock. 

Treat yourself to a great day of fishing with Barber Fishing Guide Service for the best experience and value at Lake of the Ozarks!

Catfish King - Captain Chris

VERIFIED

Very Nice clean boat and gear, introducing us to a new way using jugs to catch catfish. Easy going captain with lots of fishing and lake knowledge. Worked well with us at the beginning and throughout the day to sharpen our catfish skills. And the end of the trip our catch was cleaned throughly and bagged up for transportation, providing drinks and freezies, what a great experience, highly recommended

4 Hour AM Fishing Charter

A very hot, but fun morning!

VERIFIED

We were at the lake on vacation the 3rd week of August, which just happened to be the hottest week of the summer. I had booked our trip with Captain Chris, not knowing it was going to be so hot. With the intense heat, I really didn't expect to catch much of anything. But Captain knew exactly where to take us, what to fish for, what to use for bait. My son and I both caught a slew of white bass on our 4 hour trip. So much fun. Captain Chris and his daughter did a great job of cleaning our fish when we got back, and we'll have enough for 4 or 5 meals. I'd recommend Barber's Fishing Guide Service to anyone. In fact, next summer we'll definitely be back with the Captain for round 2.
