About Your Trip

Spend a day fishing the waters of Table Rock Lake and its surrounding river systems with a trip designed to stay flexible and focused on what’s biting. Whether you’re working lake structure or exploring the James and White River arms, these trips are tailored to the season, conditions, and your goals for the day.

Depending on the time of year, you may target largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass, along with crappie, walleye, and even trout in certain areas. A mix of techniques may be used throughout the trip, including light tackle casting, bottom fishing, and other approaches suited to the conditions.

The Experience

These trips are hands-on and adaptable, with a focus on keeping things productive while making sure everyone on board is engaged. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting started, the approach can be adjusted to match your comfort level.

Families are welcome, and these trips are a great option for introducing kids to fishing. Captain Dan enjoys working with younger anglers and making sure they stay involved throughout the day.

The Boat & Setup

You’ll be fishing aboard an 18’ Nitro bass boat, a clean and efficient setup for covering water and targeting fish in both lake and river environments. The boat is equipped with modern electronics, a trolling motor, and everything needed for a smooth day on the water.

All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided, along with live bait when needed. Light snacks and water are also included, and fish cleaning is available at the end of the trip.

Good to Know

You may need a local fishing license prior to the trip, and regulations can vary depending on species and season. Be sure to bring sun protection, appropriate clothing, and any additional food or drinks you’d like for the day.

Whether you’re looking to chase bass, fill a cooler with crappie, or just enjoy time on the water, this trip offers a well-rounded fishing experience in one of the Midwest’s top fisheries.
