Member since May 2018 Branson, United States
Background
If you asked me when I was 13 years old what I wanted to do for a living, I would have answered; "Become a professional Bass fisherman". I am living my dream daily and this is the kind of appreciation for my profession that you will enjoy the entire time we are fishing together. While in college I could not afford a Bass boat, but I could afford waders for Trout fishing. This is where I gained my passion for Trout fishing. The tournament Bass fishing came later. With several wins and top-tens, they have put me above others in this business in experience and success in the Bass fishing world. We will utilize those techniques for our success. I don't use live bait. We will be using proven tournament techniques while we fish.
Techniques
Trout Fishing; I tie all Flys we will be using 30 yrs of experience tying flies. Bass Fishing; Tournament techniques will be used for Bass Fishing Trips.

A Triple Threat on Lake Taneycomo
Aug 18, 2024 Branson
A Triple Treat on Lake Taneycomo The Milner family set out for a fishing trip on Lake Taneycomo in Brains, Missouri, and their four-hour journey with Captain B's Fishing Guide Service turned into an unforgettable experience. From the moment the Milners arrived at the lake, excitement was in the air. With Captain B’s expertise guiding them, they wasted no time and set off on their adventure. The weather was perfect, and the lake’s serene beauty promised a day of relaxation and, as it turned out, plenty of action. The highlight of the trip was the impressive number of triples the family caught. For those not familiar, a triple refers to catching three fish on a single cast, a rare and thrilling accomplishment for any angler. The Milners managed to reel in several triples throughout their outing, showcasing both their growing fishing skills and the bountiful fish population in Lake Taneycomo. In just four hours, the Milner family landed over 30 fish, a testament to both their enthusiasm and Captain B's expert guidance. The lake was clearly teeming with fish, and the variety kept everyone engaged. Whether it was the thrill of the catch or the joy of spending quality time together, the Milners enjoyed every moment of their adventure. As the trip came to an end, the Milners were thrilled with their day on Lake Taneycomo. They left with not only a substantial haul but also memories of a fantastic family outing. Captain B’s Fishing Guide Service delivered an exceptional experience, proving once again why they are renowned for their top-notch fishing trips. The Milner family’s fishing adventure on Lake Taneyomo is a reminder of the joy that a day on the water can bring. With their impressive catch and a day filled with fun, they will undoubtedly be back for more. --- For those interested in their own fishing adventure, Captain B's Fishing Guide Service is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy a day on the lake.
