About Your Trip

Lake of the Ozarks located in the beautiful hills of central Missouri which offers a nice getaway. Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass dominate these waters, while white and striped bass are more limited. In addition, there are many large bluegill, crappie, channel and flat head catfish can also be found within the waters of Lake of the Ozarks. Due to mild winters, Table Rock & Lake of the Ozarks does not freeze over, which allows for year-round fishing opportunities.

My favorite part of being a fishing guide is being able to share my passion and love for the sport with other people. I work well with kids. When you book a trip with me you do not have to worry about bringing anything. With my service I furnish all of the rods, reels, tackle, etc. I offer trips for multiple species depending on the time of year.

How did you get started guiding?

The sport of fishing is always something that I have had a passion for. Teaching people new techniques and sharing my knowledge with others is one big thing that I love about being a guide. I have been in buisness for over 7 years and can assure you I will provide you with a good experience on the water and keep the rods bent!

What makes you different from other guides?

I am a people person, 25 years old and I have fished full time since I was 18.

This trip is managed by an outfitter. Joe will be your point of contact and you will go out with one of their guides.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
