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.

Captain Ronnie
4 hour trip on September 4, 2025 • 2 adults
Ronnie and his boat were outstanding. We’re from Texas and only fish for bass, crappie and bream. Ronnie, taught us all about fishing for trout. He took extra care of my wife and put her on fish all day. Just kidding, Ronnie put both us of on fish all day. We caught about 40 fish give or take a few. My wife put 20 in the boat, and was broke off a couple times. Ronnie is a great Christian man and we are as well so we had a great time talking about different bible chapters. If you’re looking for a great time of good clean fun, Call Ronnie Lawson. Thank you Captain Ronnie! Ron and Robin from Texas.

I highly recommend Fish On Guide Service.
4 Hour on August 14, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
First and foremost, Captain Ronnie Lawson was absolutely a class act. My family and I, (4 of us) booked a four hr afternoon trip and was able to limit out and had a blast. It was hot, mid 90's, but that didn't stop Ronnie from putting us on fish. We were offered cold water on board and had cleaned and bagged fish before we left the dock. Even got to keep the four fish he caught. 10 out of 10 for sure. Thank you for the great time and even better memories! When we come back, we'll be back on the boat with Fish On Guide Service.

Awesome Experience
4 hour trip on August 10, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
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
4 hour Trip on July 14, 2025 • 3 adults
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. 🐟✨

First time using a guide—and it was FANTASTIC!
4 hour Trip on June 28, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child
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!
