I grew up fishing many different lakes and rivers and being outdoors, on the water, is the most natural thing to me. I've been competing in fishing tournaments and spending every spare moment with my line in the water. I was forced to retire from the Police Department and my martial arts schools after a motorcycle accident, but fishing helped me feel better. Over the past 5 years, I have been taking my family and friends out fishing. I've enjoyed it so much that I completed my training and became a USCG licensed Captain.

    Spoonbill Snagging

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Great day on the water. Captain and deck hand both were very instructive and took time and care in teaching us how the equipment worked. This was our first time ever trying snagging, so new experiences. The deck hand was very patient and helpful if we made small mistakes and took a lot of time explainig how the equipment worked. My buddy caught one. We got all the alotted time and then some on the boat. Captain worked hard to get us on more spoonbill for sure. At the end of the day, fish in the boat, and grrat day on the water!

    Fish for the troops

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    I set up a fishing event for some veterans i know personally through an organization i volunteer at. I booked with Captain Steve and his 1st mate Travis were great, very respectful and very appreciative of our service. Very friendly and easy to get along with. They both worked their tails off to try to make it so each of us got a keeper even with it being the last week of the season. Thanks again for a great trip!

    Great fishing trip and experience

    full day trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    If you wanna have a great time, you have to go with these guys you’ll definitely see great scenery. Catch some fish and have a wild time. The captain is very good at what he offers, fishing. My sons and I had a blast, something that we will remember. You should definitely book a trip with them if your looking for the best fishing trip.

    A successful endeavor

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 1 adult

    Had a great time out on the water with Captain Steve and his deck hand Tom. Landed my first ever paddlefish in the 50 lb range. Their boat and equipment are first-class and their knowledge of the local waterways is extensive. Could not recommend these guys enough if you're visiting Lake of the Ozarks.

    Bowfishing on lake of the Ozarks has been good. Had a few new groups that never shot before ended up hitting some fish. Crappie fishing on Stockton on fire right now. Catfish are slow

    Nice and relaxing interrupted by moments of awesomeness catching dinosaurs. Steve and Travis were very professional, clear with the needed instructions, and very knowledgeable. A great way to spend an afternoon and I got to check off a bucket list item of catching a spoonbill.

    Captain Steve and Tom provided an awesome experience. We had a large group (5 of us) and we caught lots of fish and had a blast on the water. Will be back.
