Ready to go fishing in Osage Beach? Look no further than Mike’s Guide Service! Captain Mike will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of angling experience.
These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! For these species, you’re likely to spin using light or heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites – luckily, Capt. Mike will have some on board!
Your trip begins aboard a 21’ Phoenix bass boat with space for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Osage Beach for yourself, with Mike’s Guide Service!

We are a family from the uk, We had a great trip with Mike, very good communication and easy meeting location, Mike helped my 11 year old son catch fish and showed us some great spots on the lake. Mike was very helpful and we fully enjoyed our trip, would highly recommend Mike to anyone.

My husband and I had such a great time on our fishing tour. Mike was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. We saw many parts of the lake we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It was a super hot day but we each caught three fish! I highly recommend this to any and all!

We had a great day with Mike Scott! He was very helpful with finding the rightb spots to catch some great fish. And he was also so patient when we became snagged or when we needed to change our bait. We will recommend his service the next time we are at the Lake!!
