A great vacation trip for adults and children!
3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 28, 20264 adults1 child

My group of five, two adults and three Great grandsons, were happy and enthusiastic to begin each day fishing for bass and walleye. The catches were many and impressive each day. This was a great vacation for them and they all want to come back if Captain Eric would be available as their guide. Everyone had an enthusiastic three days to fish and relax. I highly recommend vacationing with Elite Guide Service.

Eric with Elite Guide Service is highly recommended. Eric was great with my father who is blind and mentally impaired, and with my family and young nieces. Eric was friendly and caring and put us on fish all day. Lots of fish were caught and we walked away with dinner and a new wonderful experience. Thank you Eric!

Amazing Time!
4 hr - Afternoon trip on October 7, 20253 adults1 child

We had an awesome day out on Bull Shoals Lake with Eric! He was fantastic with my two boys — patient, fun, and made sure they were having a blast the whole time. He put us right on the fish and kept the action going all day. You can tell he really knows the lake and loves what he does. Great memories, lots of laughs, and plenty of fish — can’t ask for much more! Highly recommend Eric if you’re looking for a great guide and a great time on the water.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Eric has had a passion for fishing since he was just 3 years old. His grandfather was a resort owner and world record holder for Brown trout on the famed white river in Arkansas and he had a huge impact on Captain Eric. Some of Captain Eric's most vivid memories as a kid were spending time with his grandfather on the river. Captain Eric was just 10 when his grandfather passed away, and he had no idea that he was going to follow in his footsteps. You truly never know in what ways you may have an influence on children. Growing up, he would plant himself in front of the television with all his fishing gear and watch fishing shows. He used to dream of hoisting a big trophy on the National stage. In 2019, he fulfilled his dream happened by holding the trophy in the FLW Costa Series event on Table Rock Lake! He felt as his grandfather was with him that day!
