Make an adventure out of your next trip in Camdenton and go fishing with Unreel Guide Service. Your guide for the day is Captain Andy, giving you access to years of sportfishing experience.

Around here it's common to catch Crappie, Largemouth Bass, and more with any luck. On these trips, it's common to spin.

Your day begins aboard a 20' Nitro bass boat with a capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will be required 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.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Unreel Guide Service.

Catered to us exceptionally
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 27, 20262 adults

It was my wife's first time fishing and an extremely hot summer day. Andy kept us in the shade and on the fish, took home plenty of Crappie for dinner. Professional, no BS kind of guy (in a good way) and I didn't feel like he was trying to sell us something. Which I can't say for every guide I've had down here. 5 stars, would hire to guide again.

Great Experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 29, 20262 adults1 child

Andy got us on the Hydrids fast and we splattered them. We were having to catch and release after less than 1-1/2 hours on the water because we already each had one over 18” and kept our limit on the smaller ones. The Hybrids are a blast to catch and Andy knows what to do to get you on them. Was a great morning.

Thank you Kurtis. I had a blast with you and your boys. I appreciate the review. Keep in touch. Thanks. Andy

We smoked the record!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 30, 20262 adults

Andy was an amazing guide was very prepared, knew exactly where we were going. Very informative as we had not used this type of rig before which proved to be very successful. We caught 32 bass in 4 hrs, which beat his 7 yr old record of 30!!! Please note that the guides do not see any of your deposit money. TIP GENEROUSLY!

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass

Andy is a great guide!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 20, 20262 adults

Weather was unseasonably cold...and windy, but Andy was a great host and awesome guide! He was determined to get us on some fish and he did. Great, relaxing experience we would recommend to anyone! We also stayed at Rippling Waters Resort, which is where he has home base, so the convenience factor was top notch 😀.

Reported catch:
Crappie

Capt. Andy runs trips out of Camdenton aboard a 20' Nitro bass boat. These waters are known for Crappie and Largemouth Bass and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
