Captain Eric Olliverson's goal is to provide the ultimate fishing experience. Whether it's fishing for Bass, Crappie or Walleye on Bull Shoals Lake. Eric's Elite Guide Service will make sure you have a memorable experience!

Your trip will start on a 22' Phoenix bass boat. It runs on a 250 HP Mercury engine with a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots. It can sit up to 5 guests, and it's got modern GPS and fish finding technology that will quickly take you to fishing spots.

Make your trip even better by bringing the whole family, especially the kids! The fish you catch can stay with you, so you can prepare delicious meals when back home or practice catch and release.

All the gear will wait for you on the boat. The captain will provide you with water, and he'll clean and fillet your catch if cleaning stations are available in the area that you launch from.You'll only need licenses and food for the trip.

Lots of fun awaits you at Eric's Elite Guide Service. Book a trip and join the adventure.

Amazing Time!

4 hr - Afternoon trip on October 7, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 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.
