STC Fishing with Captain Experiences

Comfortable

Talkative

Laid-back

I've been an avid outdoorsman for over 50 years with over 25 years of bass tournament fishing experience throughout the Mid-west. I still fish in bass tournaments so I don’t offer guided bass trips to avoid any conflicts of interest.

I offer guided crappie and catfishing trips during the week on Mark Twain Lake, with trips running April 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.

Bass tournaments can be a little intense so taking people out that are wanting to relax and catch a few fish for the table offers a nice contrast. I also enjoy hunting upland birds, turkey and ducks.

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/hunting and it grew 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 over the decades.
