What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard with Fish On Guide Service, you're in for a treat. We run 4, 6, or 8-hour trips, giving you plenty of time to work the honey holes. Spring's when things really heat up – we're talking pre-spawn bass that'll test your drag. Come March, Bull Shoals lights up with walleye and white bass runs that'll keep your rod bent. Don't sweat the gear – we provide top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need. From novice anglers to seasoned pros, we'll tailor the trip to your skill level. Our base price covers two anglers, but we can accommodate more for a little extra. Just remember to grab your fishing license, and maybe pack some snacks and drinks. We'll handle the rest, ensuring a day of non-stop action and tight lines.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Fishing with us means you're tapping into years of local experience. We'll show you the tricks of the trade – whether it's finessing a jig through submerged timber for big largemouth, or presenting the perfect drift for rainbow trout. Depending on the season and target species, we might be throwing topwater at dawn, cranking deep structure, or slow-rolling spinnerbaits along weed edges. For trout, we often use light tackle and finesse techniques that'll have you feeling every nibble. We're always adapting to what the fish want, so be ready to switch it up and learn some new skills. It's all about reading the water, understanding fish behavior, and presenting your bait in the strike zone – skills you can take home with you long after the trip's over.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of the lake, Branson's largemouth are known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. These green machines can top 8 pounds in our waters, with spring and fall being prime time to land a wall-hanger. We'll target them around structure like submerged timber, rocky points, and weed edges. There's nothing quite like feeling that telltale 'thump' when a big largemouth inhales your lure.

Spotted Bass: Don't let their smaller size fool you – spotted bass fight like they're twice their weight. These scrappy cousins of the largemouth prefer deeper, clearer water and often school up. We catch them year-round, but they're especially active in late spring and early summer. Pound-for-pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in the lake.

White Bass: When the white bass run starts, it's non-stop action. These silver torpedoes migrate up tributaries in huge numbers, usually kicking off in early spring. They're not picky eaters, which makes them perfect for anglers of all skill levels. Get ready for double and triple hookups when we find a school – it's a blast!

Smallmouth Bass: The bronze bombers of Branson's lakes, smallmouth bass are prized for their tenacity and hard-pulling fights. They love rocky habitat and cooler water, so we often target them along bluff walls and deep points. Fall is a killer time for trophy smallies, but they'll hit year-round if you know where to look.

Rainbow Trout: Thanks to the cold water releases from Table Rock Dam, we've got a year-round trout fishery that's hard to beat. These colorful beauties require finesse and patience, but the reward is worth it. Whether you're fly fishing or using light spinning gear, hooking into a chunky rainbow in the crystal-clear waters below the dam is a special experience.
