Captain Eric has had a passion for fishing since he was just 3 years old. His grandfather was a resort owner and world record holder for Brown trout on the famed white river in Arkansas and he had a huge impact on Captain Eric. Some of Captain Eric's most vivid memories as a kid were spending time with his grandfather on the river. Captain Eric was just 10 when his grandfather passed away, and he had no idea that he was going to follow in his footsteps. You truly never know in what ways you may have an influence on children. Growing up, he would plant himself in front of the television with all his fishing gear and watch fishing shows. He used to dream of hoisting a big trophy on the National stage. In 2019, he fulfilled his dream happened by holding the trophy in the FLW Costa Series event on Table Rock Lake! He felt as his grandfather was with him that day!

4 Hour Trip (Mid-Day) • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Eric was very accomodating and attemtive to the two kids (10&13) on our guided fishing trip. He treated them kindly and was very patient and helpful. Captain Eric was pleasant, polite and very professional during our 4hr trip. He was also very knowledgeable and shared his experience as a professional fisherman with us. We learned alot from him and caught our fair share of fish, including some very nice walleye. We look forward to booking with him again in the future. If you have any kids, I would highly recommend Eric’s Elite Guide Service for your next fishing trip. Well Done Captain Eric. Thanks for a memorable day!

Cara GravlinIllinois, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedSo Many Fish!
3 Hour Trip - 10:30 AM • 4 adultsWe came hoping to catch a few fish…and quickly lost count! 🎣 Our guide clearly has the fish on speed dial because he put us right where the action was. Even in the middle of a heat wave, he kept us laughing, comfortable, and catching fish nonstop. The hours disappeared faster than our bait! Our two teenage boys were completely hooked from start to finish. And devoured our fresh catch later that night! If you’re looking for a guide who knows where the fish are, keeps everyone entertained, and makes you feel like a pro, book now! Fair warning: you may need a bigger cooler!

Maria Del RosarioFlorida, US•Member since 20265.0Verifiedsolo adventure to learn how to fish
3 Hour Trip (PM) • 1 adultI came to Eureka Springs to complete a 8 year dream . sometimes to do things on your own could be difficult but lately I have to adventure outside my comfort zone. My dad love fishing but never fished with him . I asked my best friend to teach me he said no because he was ocd about teaching. So as 65 female I took on myself and reached to Eric. He is a good teacher and very patient. I truly love the experience and started to love fishing. After the video that I sent my best friend now he knows i can fish and promise to take me out fishing. Thank yo Eric for joining on my journey
Response from CaptainThanks so much Maria! i really enjoyed meeting you. Good luck on your next trip!
Erin WozneakNew York, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat experience!!
3 Hour Trip - 6:30 AM • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy kids and I had a wonderful time fishing today with Captain Eric! Since it was their first time fishing in Missouri, it was great having a true local who has fished here his whole life guide us. I usually take the back seat and help the kids with their snags and poles as needed, but Captain Eric took charge of the entire morning — and even Mom got to catch a fish! He was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, and he stayed in touch with me leading up to our booking to make sure everything went smoothly. We definitely encourage others to give him a try if you’re looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable trip!

Tate HudsonCheyenne, WY, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedBest Fishing Trip Ever!
4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsMike Gold provided the best service these WYOMING BOYS could’ve hoped for and provided memories that will last a lifetime. Booked a 4hr Bass Trip as part of my sons graduation trip. After being told the fish were scattered around due to the heavy rain over the weekend, I was a little worried, but we still managed to reel in over 10 bass each. Mike was a great guide, super knowledgeable, and just an all around awesome dude. Anyone that gets the chance to fish with Mike Gold would be a fool to pass it up.

The water temperatures are usually in the low-to-mid-eighties this time of year. Expect the shallow bite to become more consistent as the weeks come and go.
