Cody wasn’t able to take us out, so he set us up with brother Derek Spetz who runs DCS Fishing in Branson. He was amazing from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and great with kids. We had a Blast and caught over 20 fish. Blue Gill, small and large mouth bass, and spotted bass. If you have kids and want to get on the fish these brothers are the ones to get with. 

Second time to fish with Cody. The last trip we caught trout. This trip we caught Large Mouth, Small mouth,  Spotted and Rock Bass. Also caught Blue Gill and Sun Fish. Cody taught us new techniques for using plastic baits. Highly recommend Cody. Has a passion for fishing and is a great guy to fish with!

I wanted my 10 year old son to have a memorable first fishing trip. I read reviews for months and Cody’s reviews said he was great with kids. Bonus that he had an 8am trip available in August so we didn’t have to get up super early. My son absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. He was appreciative that Cody took the time in teaching him how to cast and feel for biting fish. By the end of 4 hours, I could hear the whip of the line when he was casting. Cody was patient and a great teacher.... More

If you want a guide who truly knows his craft, book with Cody! My wife and I just finished our second trip with him, and the experience was top-tier. Cody’s expertise is incredible—he taught me a new finesse technique (the Neko rig) that helped me land a massive 19-inch smallie. He’s a patient teacher and a total pro who genuinely cares about making you a better angler. We can’t wait for our 2027 trip!
