About Your Guide

Brian Thompson

Independent Guide

Being a Professional Tournament Fisherman, I stay current with all of the most recent techniques. I have worked very hard, and continue to do so, every day to take my clients out on the best-guided fishing trip they have ever been on. Fish Catching is GUARANTEED. I am among a small handful of expert Fishing Charters in Branson who are going to make sure that you catch a lot of fish and have a fun, exciting, and safe guided fishing trip. And part of a much smaller group of Professional Tournament Fishermen who are Full Time Branson Fishing Guides. Unfortunately, there are unlicensed and often uninsured fishing guides who are not considered experts by anyone’s standards but their own.

I do a lot to separate myself from the other fishing guides. One of the most important differences is that I never personally fish while I am taking you out on a guided fishing trip, insuring you get 100% of my attention. I focus on boat control, untangling lines and netting fish. If someone needs help casting or wants to try a different lure or fly, I am right there to assist. You can focus on your own fishing and not worry if someone’s line is tangled--I will take care of it.

My boats and tackle current and CLEAN. Almost all of the lures and flies we’ll use I make myself. I don’t sell them online or in a marina, so the only times the fish see them are when clients are fishing with me. I Tournament Fish and keep up with all the most recent fishing techniques trying new flies and keeping track of where the fish are and what colors they are biting on, unlike some of the other fishing guides. I am a licensed, insured, a Coast Guard approved Captain, and a Professional Tournament Angler. I am trained in first aid, CPR, and am an expert boat operator. I have never brought my clients back to the dock empty-handed.

Taking individuals, couples, families, and groups fishing is a normal work week for me. I provide all of the tackle, equipment, baits, boats, gas, gatorade, water, and snacks on every trip. Fish cleaning and packaging are also included. There are no hidden fees or charges, everything you need is included in the price. I host three different fishing days for the Boys and Girls Clubs in my area. Kids do really well--it is amazing how intently they focus when the fish are biting! I hope you will give me the opportunity to be your fishing guide while in Branson or Ozarks Area and to provide you and your family a fun, exciting, and safe fishing trip. If I happen to be booked on the day you want to go fishing, I am always happy to give a recommendation for another local, licensed professional fishing guide.
