Captain
Jacob Wade

Member since July 2022 Branson, United States
Background
I have always loved to fish. I used to drive to the lake and sit and wait just to see if anyone needed a partner in the tournaments often times I would get picked up. I got the opportunity through guide Mike Gold who set me up to start working with Eric’s elite guide service. Gold helped me become a guide and it changed my life for the better. It’s not about what you know it’s about who you know .
Techniques
For paddle fish we will be snagging. All other species will be sought after using live bait and artificial lures . Drop shot techniques will be our main technique through the summer.
