    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    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!

    Fun Trip - Great with Kids

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 17, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great morning with Mike. Not only did we catch a lot of largemouth, but more importantly my 7 year old son had a great time. He doesn't have a lot of experience, but Mike was great with him. Very patient and instructive. Mike will definitely be our first contact for future trips!

Capt. Mike runs trip out of Osage Beach aboard a 21' Phoenix bass boat. These waters are known for Bass and Crappie and he will show you how to catch them. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
