Hoping to go fishing in Branson, MO? Breaking Bass Guide Service is here to make it happen! With Captain Spencer Clark at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide. Spencer has numerous tournament fishing accolades including winning a boat at a Major League Fishing BFL Regional Championship along with a lot of other high tournament finishes.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Rainbow, Brown Trout, Walleye, Crappie, and who knows what else! On the day of your trip, you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You'll step aboard a brand new 21' Bass boat with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Spencer will supply rods and reels for you, 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.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.

Kids are welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

    Birthday in Branson

    1/2 Day Trout Lake Taneycomo on July 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We booked our trip originally for taneycomo trout, but our guide suggested we do table rock for walleye after we mentioned walleye as well. Trout has been a little slow to bite and we took his suggestion happily to catch as much as possible. We were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, and he was hoping to catch dinner. This proved very fruitful. We booked our trip for 2pm but arrived a little early to subscreen and prepare, and so did Spencer. This made it so our first catch, happened right at 2pm. By our actual booked time, 2/3 of us had big ol bass on the line at the same time! It felt like birthday magic!! We continued to pull in a couple of walleye, some more bass, a blue gill, and a catfish. Ironically, right after us discussing probably not catching a catfish, my boyfriend ripped one out of the water. Everyone caught something while we were out. Spencer is on the lake everyday, we even saw him the day before we booked, while we paddled state marina area. Our party was 3 people, one 11 YO. Memories my 11 YO will keep for life. Thanks Spencer! We loved spending our day with you.

    1/2 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on June 20, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I had an outstanding experience with Breaking Bass Guided Services! Captain Spencer was knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard from start to finish to make sure we had a successful day on the water. His knowledge of the lake and fish patterns was impressive, and he was always willing to share tips and techniques that helped us catch more fish. The equipment and boat were top-notch, and the entire trip was organized, comfortable, and enjoyable. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, Spencer makes the experience fun and memorable. We caught plenty of fish, learned a lot, and had a great time doing it. If you’re looking for a guide who genuinely cares about his clients and puts in the effort to make your trip successful, I highly recommend Breaking Bass Guided Services. I’ll definitely be booking another trip! 🎣🐟 The service consistently receives high ratings from customers who mention Spencer’s ability to find fish, teach techniques, work well with families, and create an enjoyable experience on the water.

    We caught 20+ bass in 4 hours!

    1/2 Day Bass Table Rock on April 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Spencer put us on the bass all morning! My 4 year old son, my husband, and myself caught over 20 bass with Spencer’s help. We quit counting after so many! My 4 year old was thrilled! Spencer would hook them and then let my son reel them in. He casted for us and took all the fish off the hooks for us too. He has a great boat with all the electronics and awesome rods and reels to use. This wasn’t the most scenic fishing trip (we barely left the marina to fish around all the docks), but it was definitely successful. If you’re wanting to reel them in all morning and have all the hard work done for you, Spencer is your guy!

    Awesome Trip!

    1/2 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on July 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    I had a great time! I am an experienced fisherman, and enjoyed hopping on the boat and immediately being around quality fish. Every spot we went to had loads of fish on it. The captain was working hard to keep us on top of the fish and it payed off! One part that I was very impressed by was the fact that he was putting us on fish all the way up to the last minute! My brother in law and I doubled up on really good bass with 1 minute left in the trip! Will definitely be coming back in the future!

    Fun with son

    1/2 Day Trout Lake Taneycomo on September 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    Spenser was great with my very enthusiastic, very novice son. It was hot as hell but I still had fun just seeing how much my son loved it and because Spenser let me fish without touching bait or any fish I caught. Great time!

    Fishing was HAF! And we limited out!

    1/2 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on September 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    The weather matched the fishing, HAF, but so much fun! We culled & culled, got a Walleye, other panfish & plunged into the lake for refreshing satisfaction! Spencer is the man to book with! And his Phoenix boat was awesome!

    Fishing with Breaking Bad

    1/2 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Spencer Clark was a great guide for my son and I. The fishing started out kind of slow but Spencer kept working to get us on the fish. We ended up catching about 10 in the four hours we were on the lake. Everything we needed was provided and in good working order and we were very pleased with the trip. Would definitely do this trip again.

    Captain Spencer Is Awesome!

    1/2 Day Bass Table Rock on August 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had such a good time fishing with Spencer! This is our second trip with him and we are never disappointed! He took us to multiple different fishing spots which allowed us to caught lots of fish. We caught large, small and spotted bass, walleye, blue gill and were surprised fo catch a catfish too! Can’t recommend Spencer enough!

    Great Trip

    1/2 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on June 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    If you're looking for a guide on Table Rock look no more. Spencer will 100% put you on fish. You just have to do your part of the deal. My son caught somewhere around 40 fish mostly bass but a couple other species in less then 4hrs. The wife and I caught fish as well we just weren't as good as the boy.

3/4 day Table Rock Bass and Walleye on June 17, 2026 • 2 adults

We had a wonderful time catching bass and walleye. Captain Jack had an amazing fishing boat and all the gear. He put us on fish all day long. I recommend Captain Jack for your next fishing trip. He was pleasant and easy to get to know. He knows his way around Tablerock lake. Captain was aware of the daily weather and kept us on task all day. We left early and caught fish all throughout the trip. We even got to sport fish after we were maxed out with our limit.
