About Your Trip

Experience some of the finest fishing the Ozarks has to offer with Captain Andrew on the legendary waters of Lake Taneycomo. Known nationwide for its cold-water fishery below Table Rock Dam, Taneycomo provides outstanding year-round opportunities to target Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout, along with seasonal opportunities for Largemouth Bass, Walleye, and Crappie. Your trip begins at a convenient launch location and takes you to productive stretches of the lake selected based on current water conditions, generation schedules, and seasonal fish patterns.

Throughout the trip, Captain Andrew will guide you using proven local techniques designed to maximize your success. Depending on the target species and conditions, you may fish with light tackle, artificial lures, live bait, drifting presentations, or other specialized methods that consistently produce fish on Taneycomo. Whether you're looking to catch your first trout, fill a limit of rainbows, or pursue a trophy brown trout, every trip is customized to your goals and skill level.

Your adventure takes place aboard a fully equipped 21' bass boat that comfortably accommodates up to four anglers. All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided, allowing you to focus entirely on fishing. Families and children are welcome, making this an excellent trip for anglers of all experience levels. Simply bring a valid Missouri fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you'd like to enjoy during your time on the water.

What sets us apart is Captain Andrew's combination of local knowledge, tournament fishing experience, and commitment to providing a personalized experience for every guest. Rather than fishing the same spots every day, Captain Andrew adapts each trip to current conditions, helping anglers consistently find fish throughout the year. Whether you're chasing hard-fighting Rainbow Trout, trophy Brown Trout, or taking advantage of seasonal opportunities for Bass, Walleye, and Crappie, you'll enjoy a fun, professional, and memorable day on one of Missouri's most productive fisheries.

About Your Guide

Andrew S.

Independent Guide

I am a 24-year-old angler from Rogersville, Missouri, and bass fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My passion for the sport began at a young age, fishing alongside my dad, who taught me not only how to become a better angler but also how to respect the outdoors and appreciate the beauty of bass fishing. As I grew older, my passion turned into a competitive pursuit. I attended Missouri State University, where I competed in collegiate bass fishing and had the opportunity to travel across the country fishing B.A.S.S. and Major League Fishing (MLF) events. Competing against talented anglers from around the nation helped me develop my skills, work ethic, and understanding of the sport. The lessons I've learned through fishing—patience, preparation, perseverance, and adaptability—have shaped who I am both on and off the water. Today, I continue to pursue opportunities to compete at a high level while constantly working to improve as an angler. Bass fishing is more than a hobby to me; it is a lifelong passion that has provided unforgettable experiences, lasting friendships, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors. I look forward to continuing my journey in the sport and representing it with integrity and respect.
