Went fishing with 3 kids ranging in age from 11-13. Everyone had a great time and was engaged the entire time. We almost caught our limit of trout and couldn’t believe our time was up - it flew by! Even watching Derek clean and filet the fish was an experience for the kids. We started at 7 am and glad the kids had hoodies. It warmed up by 8 though to a very comfortable morning! Would 100% do this trip again!
i had a great time fishing for Bass on the lake lost count but my ave was around 3#. I fish once a week back home and a good knowledge of the sport. Capt Derek was a great guide passed along his knowledge to me. The weather was in the 90s that but we still caught Bass
best fishing trip ever. guide was great. very knowledgeable and friendly felt like i was with family. caught limit. he cleaned and fileted them for us. definitely would recommend and go again. had a great day!!!! special shout out to his sister that lives in Missouri also
We caught our first fish about 30 seconds into our first cast. Captain Derek was great. He got us to our spot quickly and we were off and running. Very patient with the kids and had lots of tips and tricks to share. We had a great time.
Derek was amazing, he got us on the fish quick. If you are in Branson and looking for a great guide he is your guy. He was great with the kids and made it very enjoyable for everyone. We caught over 20 fish and made well worth our while. We caught small and large mouth bass, spotted bass, blue gil, and a catfish. He is very knowledgeable, Genuine, and fun.
