Hands-off
I've been an avid outdoorsman for over 50 years. I offer guided fishing trips during the week on Mark Twain Lake with Crappie trips running April through June and Jug-line trips for catfish September through October. I have a fully equipped 21’ SeaArk and all fishing gear (quality equipment) is provided unless you prefer to use your own. I offer relaxed trips for 1-2 people with the opportunity to put some fish in your cooler. I'm flexible with our start/end time so I can work around your schedule.

How did you get started guiding?
I've been hunting/fishing since I was about 8 years old, the past few years I've had a lot of people ask me to take them fishing and its grown from there.
What makes you different from other guides?
It depends on the other guides I suppose, but I have accumulated quite a bit of experience/knowledge over the decades.

Captain Experiences couldn't have come up with a more qualified and knowledgeable fishing guide than Ken we really enjoyed our time on Mark Twain Lake with Captain Ken he made sure our time on his boat was to make us feel comfortable and as stress free during our fishing time together we would highly recommend Captain Ken and Captain Experiences for your next fishing adventure Mickey & Paula O'fallon Mo.

I give my experience with Captain Ken five stars! The day started out overcast with light showers. But once the clouds parted the action began. I caught my limit of croppies quickly over the next few hours! Captain Ken knew where to go and how to change course to meet the current conditions.

I give my experience with Captain Ken five stars! The day started out overcast with light showers. But once the clouds parted the action began. I caught my limit of croppies quickly over the next few hours! Captain Ken knew where to go and how to change course to meet the current conditions. He was knowledgeable about this type of fishing and with his coaching, I caught more than anyone on the surrounding boats. Captain Ken's equipment options as far as poles, jigs and electronics are first rate. He is easy and fun to be around and helps you be the best fisherman you can be. Mark Twain Lake is a gorgeous spot and I'll definitely be back to join Captain Ken for another adventure. - CC
