I have been fishing since I was young, and specifically, the Lake of Ozarks for over 40 years. Fishing and hunting are my 2 favorite hobbies, more of a lifestyle for my family and I. You will be fishing with myself, and my son Matthew, or my son Dillon, and friend Arran. We will do our best to accompany all your needs and get you on some fish!

    Absolutely recommend was amazing.

    4 Hour Trip – Snagging (PM) • 4 adults

    Mike and Dillion were the best. They were patient, accommodating and engaging. We very much enjoyed getting to know them. Their skill in getting us on the fish was top notch. You will not be disappointed in booking with them. Answered everything we needed to know quickly with just a phone call. WOW, they were great.

    Response from Captain

    BEST CHARTER OUT THERE!

    4 Hour Trip – Snagging (AM) • 2 adults

    Coming from an experienced angler who grew up in Florida, this is the best charter I’ve ever been on hands down. Not only were the fish much bigger than expected, the lake is beautiful, and the captain and his son are amazing people! You can tell they are very experienced and know what they are doing. I’ve been on dozens of charters freshwater and saltwater but this tops everything! If you want to catch fish and have a good time this is the charter to pick! Can’t wait to come back next year!

    Amazing trip! Highly recommended!

    4 Hour Trip – Snagging (AM) • 3 adults

    Booked mid season, captain got us in, and on top of em quick. Day was very overcast to start, but the crew knew where we were when we couldn't see and knew some safe spots while it lifted. Not only that, but they were completely set up for multiple types of methods to get em. The trip was for my brother's at first, but in the end we all learned something new and got beautiful fish, and more blessings than we could've imagined. Couldn't have asked for a better time.

    Great trip

    4 Hour Trip – Snagging (PM) • 4 adults

    If you are looking for an amazing time Good Life Guide Service are the guys to go with. Great people, good equipment and these guys know the fish. Took 10 minutes to hook into the first fish and had a four person limit in 4 hours. Plan on fishing with them again in the future. Could not be happier with our trip.

    A big thank you to Captain Mike and Dylan. We had a great time and going to cherish the moment and have many pictures to prove it along with my wife’s 76 pounder. This is a great experience for anyone wanting to land a large fish.
