About Your Trip

Table Rock Lake sits in the heart of the Ozarks, and Wes has spent over 40 years learning every corner of it. This fully customizable freshwater trip puts you on one of Missouri's most productive bass and trout fisheries, with a guide whose tournament experience and genuine love for the water translate directly into a better day for his clients.

The target species list covers serious ground: largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass alongside brown trout and rainbow trout, all within reach depending on the season and what's producing. Wes fishes year-round and adjusts his approach to match the conditions, working artificial lures, topwater presentations, jigs, light tackle, and live bait as the situation calls for it. When conditions align, topwater fishing on Table Rock can produce the kind of surface strikes that make freshwater fishing hard to walk away from, and Wes puts in the work to create those opportunities.

Every trip is built around the angler. Whether you're a complete beginner who wants to learn the basics, a seasoned fisherman looking to dial in a specific technique, or a family that just wants to have a good time on the water, Wes adapts the outing to fit. He genuinely enjoys taking people fishing, and that shows in how he runs his trips.

The 19-foot bass boat is purpose-built for lake fishing, nimble enough to work shallow structure and comfortable for a full day on Table Rock's clear Ozark water. Trips run two to six hours, giving you the flexibility to choose an outing that fits your schedule.

Book a trip with Wes out of Table Rock and spend some time on the water with someone who knows it well.

I have been fishing for my whole life with over 40 years of experience. I started at a young age fishing for small mouth at crooked creek and the Buffalo River. Over my lifetime I have fished all over Northwest Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and Oklahoma. I have won numerous tournaments over the years. Most recently, the Yeti Big Bass tournament. I have fished for bass, walleye, trout, catfish, and more. I enjoy taking all levels...
