About Your Trip
If you’re ready for a full-throttle fishing experience on one of America’s most powerful waterways, then a guided catfishing trip on the Missouri River is calling your name. Based near Omaha, Nebraska, these trips are all about chasing down trophy-class Flathead and Blue Catfish with a crew that lives and breathes river fishing.
From the moment you meet your guide at the boat ramp, everything is set up for success. After a quick rundown on
safety, boat procedures, and what to expect on the water, you’ll step aboard a spacious, stable river boat built specifically for chasing giants. Outfitted with top-tier electronics, heavy-duty rods and reels, and premium tackle, this setup is designed to handle serious fish—and serious fun.
Depending on the season and river conditions, your guide will use a variety of catfishing techniques to get you on the bite. Rising spring waters often mean fish are moving upriver, while fall brings cooler temps and a downstream shift in fish location. Your guide keeps a close eye on these patterns and will put you in the right place at the right time using proven strategies that deliver.
You can choose from 4-hour, 6-hour, or full-day trips, with custom options available upon request—including both day and night trips depending on the season. Whether you’re going solo, bringing the family, or organizing a corporate outing, your crew can accommodate any size group with multiple boats and experienced guides ready to roll.
All gear is included in your trip: rods, reels, bait, tackle, bottled drinks, sunscreen, and life jackets. The only thing you need to bring is a valid Nebraska or Iowa fishing license and whatever snacks and drinks you’d like to have on board. A small cooler is welcome if you’d like to bring your own.
This isn’t just your average fishing trip—this is your shot at landing a monster. In the 2023 season alone, clients caught multiple fish in the 80- and 90-pound range, and several tipping the scales over 100 pounds. These guides are relentless in their pursuit of giants, and they’ve got the tools and experience to put you on a once-in-a-lifetime fish.
All fish are photographed and released, but if you’d like to keep a smaller, eater-sized catfish or two, your guide will take care of cleaning and processing them for you.
So whether you’re looking to learn the ropes of catfishing, test your strength against a Missouri River beast, or just enjoy a unique and unforgettable day outdoors, this trip delivers the adventure—and then some. Book your spot and get ready for a wild ride on the mighty Missouri.
