If you're here to make the most of fishing in southern Misdouri, look no further than Branson Champion Guide Service. Captain Rick will be your guide, which means you'll tap into over 40 years of knowledge and experience.
Species like Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Paddlefish, White Bass, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more inhabit these waters, depending on when you go. On these trips, you can expect to jig using light or heavy tackle.
Your trip begins aboard a 21' Champion bass boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it 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.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is not allowed.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Branson Champion Guide Service!
