Spend the day with Fish On Guide Service and let them show you what makes the fishing in Branson so memorable! With Captain Ronnie at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Species like Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Bass, Striped Bass, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Crappie, and more could be biting, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your day begins aboard a 20’ Lowe bay boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has a fighting chair and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Capt. Ronnie will supply rods and reels for you, as well as 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, it will be necessary 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If there’s more you’d like to know about fishing with Fish On Guide Service, you can send Capt. Ronnie a message down below.

Ron was fantastic. Great energy, talkative,informative, not lazy at all. Luckily we rolled up to his honey hole and did not have to move. We limited out in 2 hrs. (4 of us) and kept fishing/culling for the next 2 hrs. He kept our poles baited (even though I can myself, he happily did for me) he kept up w all 4 of us. Landing our fish, removing hooks, re tying leaders. Cleaned our catch and bagged it when finished fishing. Dude knows how to fish, and offers a great family friendly, super kid friendly experience. Highly recommend Note communication is key. Earliest I could select online was 7am We met at 630am. He would've been willing to meet whenever. I recommend reaching out to him and asking what time of day is preferred for you're time of year

🎣 Wonderful fishing day in Branson with Captain Ronnie Lawson

VERIFIED
NEW

The water was amazing with a touch of fog. We reeled in so many beautiful rainbow trout. It was a thrill! There was a tiny shower, however, that didn’t stop them from biting. We didn’t keep any, just wanted to soak up the experience, and Captain Ronnie made it unforgettable. He was professional, deeply knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in fishing. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro angler, you’re in excellent hands. Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Ronnie Lawson for a fishing adventure you won’t forget! We are already planning our next trip with him soon. 🐟✨

Captain Ronnie was tremendous. Born and raised in Missouri coupled with lifelong professional and recreational fishing experience makes him a go to guide. He got to work at once, placing us in an exact spot with poles rigged to catch trout immediately - if you followed his advice! We each caught our limit and continued to reel in fish until our time expired. Congenial and most helpful, Captain Ronnie increases his customer’s fish catching odds significantly. Thank you!

First time using a guide—and it was FANTASTIC!

VERIFIED

Ronnie made the best of the elements Mother Nature dealt! Lots of fog on Tanneycomo, so we hit the creeks to bass fish. Rain the night before had the water murkier than normal-but Ronnie still put us on fish. My son loved how Ronnie showed him all about his livescope, showed him where to cast, was excited every time we brought one in and most importantly—kept us safe😎! We ended back on Tanney and limited out on trout within an hour. A truly great day of fishing! Everything, from communication to his great boat and tackle, and ending with him cleaning and packing our catch—was top notch! Highly recommend guiding with Ronnie! Thank you sir!

Great trip. Even better Captain.

VERIFIED

Captain Ronnie got us on fish which most guides can do to one degree or the other. What impressed my wife and I the most was his dealing with a difficult individual who began verbally berating us from the bank. Captain Ronnie handled the matter in a very Christ-like manner and we moved on to have better catch success at another spot. He knows the the area well, is very patient with those who are at a novice level and also allows those with more experience to fish from the front or wherever the best position is. I have used guide services in several other states for a variety species over the years and would highly recommend Capt. Ronnie!
