    Incredible trip!

    2 Hour Trip - 4:00 PM2 adults

    We had a fantastic 2-hour fishing trip on Table Rock Lake! The boat and equipment were professional, clean, and in great shape. We caught several fish, including bass and bluegill, and had a great time out on the water. A storm came in and unfortunately we had to head back in a little early, but that was completely out of our guide’s control. Even with the shortened trip, we still had an awesome experience and really enjoyed our time on the lake. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun fishing experience on Table Rock Lake!

    just what we needed!

    4 Hour Trip2 adults

    Great Day on Table Rock Lake! 🎣 We had such a great time fishing on Table Rock Lake yesterday! Our captain was absolutely fantastic—fun, personable, and full of fishing stories. He had us laughing the entire time. I’m pretty sure I almost cried from laughing a few times! 😂 And we definitely caught fish! We brought in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegill, and even catfish. 🎣 The walleye definitely eluded us, but we tried! Maybe next time! 😉 It was such a fun day on the water, and we made some great memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain or a better day. We would definitely recommend this trip and can’t wait to do it again!

    Excellent fishing trip with Brien

    2 Hour Trip - 6:00 AM3 adults1 child

    We were a husband, wife and 4 year old girl with next to no experience and looking for someone to help guide us through fishing on the lake. Brien was even better than we hoped. Not only was his boat really modern with a lot of helpful kit to find the fish but he was also really friendly and easy to talk to. He was especially great with our 4 year old and made sure she got to hold a couple of our catches with a fish gripper for photos. The highlight of our session was catching a >20lb carp but we also caught bluegill and bass. If we find time to do another trip we would definitely look to book Brien!

    outstanding Morning

    4 Hour Trip4 adults

    We had an outstanding trip with Brien! From the moment we left the dock, it was a quick run to the first fishing spot, and within minutes we had bent poles and fish coming over the side. Brien worked hard the entire trip, keeping our hooks baited, making sure we had quality equipment, and keeping us fishing instead of messing with gear. He was easy to talk to, making the day enjoyable with great conversation while still staying focused on putting us on fish. Even after the bite slowed down, Brien never gave up. He kept moving us to productive spots and worked hard to keep us on the fish until the end of the trip. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who works hard and makes sure you have a great experience, I highly recommend Brien. We’d gladly book another trip with him!

    Best save ever

    2 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM3 adults1 child

    We booked with Captain Brien who by the way was very friendly and professional. Our grandson really enjoyed his help and guidance. There was some confusion about the trip which was immediately resolved by Captain Brien. The confusion was we were wanting a trout trip and the trip we were on wasn’t for trout so Brien called Captain Charlie Weyer and helped set up a trout trip a couple of days later. Also Captain Brien didn’t charge us for his guided trip which is a rare trait in a person nowadays. We want to thank Captain’s Brien and Charlie for two great fishing trips. Thanks guys we will book again
