Captain
Bruce Curtis

Member since February 2019 Branson, United States
Background
Captain Bruce Curtis has been fishing the Great Lakes an Mid-Western rivers and lakes for almost half a century, which makes him a seasoned professional on these bountiful waters. He holds a US Coast Guard Mariners License and is a respected member of the fishing society. Capt. Bruce knows how to get his customers on the fish, whether they're beginners or experienced anglers.
Techniques
Table Rock/ Bull Shoals Lake Trips are trolling trips. I run multiple lines off very large planner boards. There is no casting required. When the fish hits you get up and land the fish across the boats transom. These trips are great for families with children because they do not have to cast and every one catches fish. On these trips you may catch Crappie, Large Mouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Bass, Walleye, Small Mouth Bass, catfish and possibly a Stripper. Lake Taneycomo is a River/Lake and starts with the tail waters of Table Rock Dam. It holds some of the largest Rainbow and Brown Trout in the world. Rods, Reels and baits are furnished. You may also bring your fly rod if you prefer. The fishing style is drift fishing when the dam is running water or still fishing with trolling motor when no water is running.
