    Great day of catching!

    Spring Crappie/White Bass Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Bruce pulled out all of his tricks and knowledge to get us on fish even though the cold fronts the past few days have slowed the bite. Captain Bruce made sure we all caught fish and was super helpful and patient with 2 in our party that are inexperienced but after today they felt like champions of the sport with several big fish they both caught. Captain Bruce loves fishing and it shows in how he takes care of his clients. One of the best guided trip we’ve taken!

    Reported catch:
    White Bass

    great Guide!

    Spring Crappie/White Bass Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Bruce was a great guide. His set up to catch fish totally awesome. I am going to incorporate his ideas into what I am doing. Captain Bruce was professional and very knowledgeable. He explained all his equipment, techniques and knew exactly where the fish liked to hang out therefore we had a very successful day and caught 15 fish. Once back at the dock he cleaned and bagged our catch for us.

    Reported catch:

    Great Day on the Lake

    Table Rock Lake Trolling Summer • 5 adults

    Captain Bruce thank you for taking us out! We caught 20+ bass and had a great time. Bruce is very knowledgable and able to get us on the fish within minutes. This trip is great for families or groups looking for a later start. All you need are your drinks, snacks, and sun protection. Then get ready for some bass.

    great time

    Awesome time. Captain Bruce was patient and cery knowledgeable. I really respect the innovation of his northern roots fishing techniques that he has brought to the Ozarks. His methods work and he has fine tuned them to perfection.

    Awesome Fishing Experience!

    Table Rock Lake Trolling Summer • 5 adults • 3 children

    Captain Bruce knew exactly where to go and what to use. We were catching fish before we even had all the poles in the water right up until we brought them in to head to the boat ramp. He was great with the kids and answered all their many questions.

    Great Crew and family!
