Ken Masters Saint Charles, Missouri Reported: 6 months ago

5/8 – Out with a lone client today, he was able to pick up a limit in about 3 1/2 hours on a variety of jig colors. The day started out cold and rainy and by midmorning the sky cleared and it warmed up. Jigs, about 1.5 inches worked all day with darker colors being better in the morning and brighter ones working once the sun was up. The bank bite was consistent all day. 5/9 – Out with 2 clients today, the crappie bite was initially okay but slowed by midmorning. Talked with a few people on the water and that seemed to be the norm in the mid-lake area. The bank bite from the day before was off and the fish appeared to have pulled off the bank in 2 – 6 feet of water. The water level appeared to be dropping (water line on the bank) which may have had an effect. Also, some guys mentioned they were electroshocking parts of the lake which may have also had an effect.

Robbie did an excellent job, very personable and knowledgeable. Several boats were on the River/lake. The two of us actually caught 24 small to medium size trout. Robbie is very experienced and he has a few tricks up his sleeve that allowed us to catch so many fish in the short four hour spam, even with so many fishing boats on the River/Lake.

Trip: Lake Taneycomo Trout Fishing

Cody was awesome. He was full of energy, and we had 10 fish in the boat with-in the first hour. We were able to catch some Rainbows on Artificial Bait, Samon Eggs, Worms, and lures. We tried 3 different locations and had success in all three. We had a couple large ones get away and that has pumped us up for our next trip. I would highly recommend taking a trip with Cody and bring a cooler to take your catch home with you.

Cody did an amazing job! He knows his stuff and has many spots to catch fish. He has a chill personality that would get along with anyone. Cody gave us pointers, answered questions, and we all shared fishing stories. I would highly recommend Cody and plan on chartering with him in the future.

Bryan was great. He was prompted when communicating prior to trip and on day of trip, he took great care of us. He helped if we asked but also taught our kids too. He was kind, experienced and all around great guide.

Trip: TABLE ROCK BASS FISHING
★★★★★
We were Brian‘s first customers in 2015 and at that time he was working table rock Lake and my son was 14, 10 years later. He’s now working Laje Taney Como as a trout fishing guide and we’ve learned a lot of tips on trout fishing just like we learned a lot of tips on bass fishing years ago! Here is an Eagle Scout and it shows! he’s very polite. He’s excellent to fish with! We had a lot in common. Years ago He lived in the same area that we did so it was a lot of fun we learned Interesting catch sayings like when we put Ilthe trout back in the water, he said, “now say catch you later!”
