Eric's Elite Guide Service- Branson 

We came hoping to catch a few fish…and quickly lost count! 🎣 Our guide clearly has the fish on speed dial because he put us right where the action was. Even in the middle of a heat wave, he kept us laughing, comfortable, and catching fish nonstop. The hours disappeared faster than our bait! Our two teenage boys were completely hooked from start to finish. And devoured our fresh catch later that night! If you’re looking for a guide who knows where the fish are, keeps everyone entertained, and makes you feel like a pro, book now! Fair warning: you may need a bigger cooler!

My kids and I had a wonderful time fishing today with Captain Eric! Since it was their first time fishing in Missouri, it was great having a true local who has fished here his whole life guide us. I usually take the back seat and help the kids with their snags and poles as needed, but Captain Eric took charge of the entire morning — and even Mom got to catch a fish! He was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, and he stayed in touch with me leading up to our booking to make sure everything went smoothly. We definitely encourage others to give him a try if you’re looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable trip!

Mike Gold provided the best service these WYOMING BOYS could’ve hoped for and provided memories that will last a lifetime. Booked a 4hr Bass Trip as part of my sons graduation trip. After being told the fish were scattered around due to the heavy rain over the weekend, I was a little worried, but we still managed to reel in over 10 bass each. Mike was a great guide, super knowledgeable, and just an all around awesome dude. Anyone that gets the chance to fish with Mike Gold would be a fool to pass it up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing 3-hour fishing trip with Captain Eric! Our group included 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 12 and 9), and he was absolutely fantastic with all of us. Captain Eric was friendly, patient, and incredibly informative—he answered every question we had and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. We caught a great mix of fish, including different kinds of bass, walleye, and bluegill! His boat was modern, clean, and very comfortable for our family, and all the equipment was in great condition. Captain Eric took care of everything—baiting hooks, taking fish off the line, and making sure we had the best possible experience. We had such a fun and memorable time and would definitely book with Captain Eric again the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a great day on the water!

We had the absolute best time! Eric was an amazing guide who knew the lake inside and out. There were five of us, two were boys aged 10 and 12 and he was so good with them! They caught so many fish, lines were hot. Eric was so kind and patient and just an all around great guy! We will be doing this again! Thank you, Eric for making this such a memorable experience for our family!

We did a four hour fishing trip with Eric and had a fantastic time. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to find the fish for us. He baited the hook, took the fish off and celebrated with us. He took pictures and sent them the same day. We caught bass, yellow bass, blue gil, and walleye. We would recommend him for a guided fishing trip.

Eric makes the fishing trip what it is. He took our group to the best areas that gave us the best chances to catch. We ended up catching nearly 20 fish on our trip. Not only is Eric professional he gets to know you personally. I would recommend Eric to anyone that plans a fishing trip. I plan on coming back with my son to have another great experience. Thank you Eric.

I took my 13 year old on a 4 hour trip woth Eric in mid April. We fished for small mouth bass. First time both of us had fished small mouth. Eric put us on some fish almost immediately. I found Eric to be a real professsional. He worked hard for us the whole time. He was very knowledgable and you could tell a person of integrity. I would highly recommend this guide.

This is my second time put with Mr. O. My Buddy and I had a great time, caught lots of fish, and got out of our comfort zones with different fishing techniques. Don’t get me started on the Phoenix boat and electronics. I am a huge fan of bass fishing and Mr. O’s set up is top notch. He was able to find some really good spots for us and was patient whn we made mistakes. He even would get our hooks unstuck. He is a top tier guide with over 20 years of experience. We will be booking with him again in the near future.

Eric is an excellent captain and guide. He helped us catch our limit super quick and then took us to some other spots to catch a different breed. He was fantastic with my kids 11 & 7, both of whom have crazy personalities. They loved hanging out with Captain Eric. We will fish with him every single time we come back.
