Capt. Andy runs trips out of Camdenton aboard a 20' Nitro bass boat. These waters are known for Crappie and Largemouth Bass and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Awesome!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Our captain was Andy and he was awesome! Super kind and helpful! He had a spotless rig that was equipped with everything we needed! He knew right where to go and we caught our limit! Cleaned them up for us in a jiffy. I highly recommend booking with Unreel Guide Service! You will not be disappointed!

    Catered to us exceptionally

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    It was my wife's first time fishing and an extremely hot summer day. Andy kept us in the shade and on the fish, took home plenty of Crappie for dinner. Professional, no BS kind of guy (in a good way) and I didn't feel like he was trying to sell us something. Which I can't say for every guide I've had down here. 5 stars, would hire to guide again.

    Thank you Alex. I had great time with you and your wife. I appreciate the review. Thanks again.

    Great Experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Andy got us on the Hydrids fast and we splattered them. We were having to catch and release after less than 1-1/2 hours on the water because we already each had one over 18” and kept our limit on the smaller ones. The Hybrids are a blast to catch and Andy knows what to do to get you on them. Was a great morning.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Kurtis. I had a blast with you and your boys. I appreciate the review. Keep in touch. Thanks. Andy

    We smoked the record!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Andy was an amazing guide was very prepared, knew exactly where we were going. Very informative as we had not used this type of rig before which proved to be very successful. We caught 32 bass in 4 hrs, which beat his 7 yr old record of 30!!! Please note that the guides do not see any of your deposit money. TIP GENEROUSLY!

    Reported catch:
    Largemouth Bass

    Andy is a great guide!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Weather was unseasonably cold...and windy, but Andy was a great host and awesome guide! He was determined to get us on some fish and he did. Great, relaxing experience we would recommend to anyone! We also stayed at Rippling Waters Resort, which is where he has home base, so the convenience factor was top notch 😀.
