Make the most of your time in Branson and go fishing with 8erBaits Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Pete can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Crappie, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, Walleye, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. You'll target your catch by spinning, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Capt. Pete will bring you aboard a 22' Avid bass boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I have grown up in the Ozarks and have been fishing the lakes here my entire life! I fish many Bass tournaments but truly enjoy getting people on the water and teaching them how to be successful anglers
