Captain Dave brings an extensive professional tournament fishing background to every trip on Table Rock Lake and Bull Shoals Lake.

A USCG Licensed Captain and Bassmaster Open Champion, Dave won the 2009 Bassmaster Northern Open on the Upper Chesapeake Bay and has competed in the BASS Opens, FLW Costa and Toyota Series, ESPN BASSMASTER Tour, and Top 150. His career includes three Toyota Texas Bass Classic qualifications and five Costa Series Championship qualifications.

Beyond tournament fishing, Dave has spent years teaching anglers how to become better bass fishermen. He's been a featured seminar speaker for Bass University, worked with high school and youth groups, and served as an instructor at professional bass camps for young anglers.

Before making his home in Reeds Spring, Missouri, Dave also completed a 30-year career in law enforcement, retiring as a Lieutenant.

Today, Dave combines decades of tournament experience with a genuine passion for teaching. Whether you want to learn seasonal patterns, improve your tackle selection, better understand your electronics, or simply spend a fun day catching bass in the Ozarks, he'll tailor the experience...

How did you get started guiding?

I have tournament fished for nearly 30yrs. I kinda fell into guiding while helping people learn to recognize conditions and application approaches.

What makes you different from other guides?

My experience. I have guided in NJ, Maryland, Texas, NY, MO and Arkansas. The various environments I have experienced have made me a better angler and someone who can share my knowledge very with my clients. My experience as an instructor at various fishing camps allows me to help anglers that range from beginners to advanced.
