About Your Guide

Brian T.

Outfitter

Being a Professional Tournament Fisherman, I stay current with all of the most recent techniques. I have worked very hard, and continue to do so, every day to take my clients out on the best-guided fishing trip they have ever been on. Fish Catching is GUARANTEED. I am among a small handful of expert Fishing Charters in Branson who are going to make sure that you catch a lot of fish and have a fun, exciting, and safe guided fishing trip. And part of a much smaller group of Professional Tournament Fishermen who are Full Time Branson Fishing Guides. Unfortunately, there are unlicensed and often uninsured fishing guides who are not considered experts by anyone’s standards but their own.

I do a lot to separate myself from the other fishing guides. One of the most important differences is that I never personally fish while I am taking you out on a guided fishing trip, insuring you get 100% of my attention. I focus on boat control, untangling lines and netting fish. If someone needs help casting or wants to try a different lure or fly, I am right there to assist. You can focus on your own fishing and not worry if someone’s line is tangled--I will take care of it.

My boats and tackle current and CLEAN. Almost all of the lures and flies we’ll use I make myself. I don’t sell them online or in a marina, so the only times the fish see them are when clients are fishing with me. I Tournament Fish and keep up with all the most recent fishing techniques trying new flies and keeping track of where the fish are and what colors they are biting on, unlike some of the other fishing guides. I am a licensed, insured, a Coast Guard approved Captain, and a Professional Tournament Angler. I am trained in first aid, CPR, and am an expert boat operator. I have never brought my clients back to the dock empty-handed.

Taking individuals, couples, families, and groups fishing is a normal work week for me. I provide all of the tackle, equipment, baits, boats, gas, gatorade, water, and snacks on every trip. Fish cleaning and packaging are also included. There are no hidden fees or charges, everything you need is included in the price. I host three different fishing days for the Boys and Girls Clubs in my area. Kids do really well--it is amazing how intently they focus when the fish are biting! I hope you will give me the opportunity to be your fishing guide while in Branson or Ozarks Area and to provide you and your family a fun, exciting, and safe fishing trip. If I happen to be booked on the day you want to go fishing, I am always happy to give a recommendation for another local, licensed professional fishing guide.

We were Brian‘s first customers in 2015 and at that time he was working table rock Lake and my son was 14, 10 years later. He’s now working Laje Taney Como as a trout fishing guide and we’ve learned a lot of tips on trout fishing just like we learned a lot of tips on bass fishing years ago! Here is an Eagle Scout and it shows! he’s very polite. He’s excellent to fish with! We had a lot in common. Years ago He lived in the same area that we did so it was a lot of fun we learned Interesting catch sayings like when we put Ilthe trout back in the water, he said, “now say catch you later!”

Amazing two days with Captain Matt. We had a lot of success with a strong current on afternoon and lost a massive trout that dove under the boat after a 15 minute fight. We also had a lot of success during a rainy morning.
Matt is nothing but professional and I would highly recommend for a father, son and grandfather trip like we had. Will definitely going back out there.
