Champion Guide Service

Captain Rick brings decades of hands-on experience to the waters around Branson, having grown up fishing Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo. His lifelong connection to these fisheries has given him a deep understanding of local patterns, seasonal movements, and how fish behave throughout the year.

A U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain, Rick prioritizes safety and professionalism while keeping trips relaxed and enjoyable. He’s widely known for his bass expertise but is equally experienced targeting trout, catfish, crappie, and spoonbill. Guests appreciate his patient, approachable teaching style and the way he adapts each trip to match skill level and goals.

Whether you’re chasing a trophy bass, learning new techniques, or simply enjoying a day on the water, Captain Rick focuses on creating a productive, educational, and memorable experience every time you step aboard.
