Are you looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Missouri's beautiful Table Rock, Lake Taneycomo, or Bull Shoals Lakes? Look no further than Dodson Guide Service!&nbsp;Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisherman, Dodson Guide Service has something to offer. They provide both guided fishing charters and general fishing tips to help you get the most out of your time on the water. With their state-of-the-art equipment and knowledge of local hotspots, they'll help you reel in trophy catches that will make your friends envious. Captain Robbie Dodson is an expert in the art of bass and trout fishing, with years of experience fishing in Missouri. Experience the thrill of fishing with the 19 Ranger bass boat! Perfect for up to four anglers, this reliable and powerful vessel is equipped with a 200 HP engine. The included GPS and Fishfinder will ensure you stay on top of where the fish are biting, so you can land that prized catch. And if you prefer to use live bait, then getting set up will be simple—allowing more time for fishing action. Table Rock Lake is a mecca for anglers across the country, and with good reason. The lake boasts a fantastic bass population, offering the opportunity to catch largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass all in one location. Anglers can expect to find smallmouth and spotted bass in the rocky areas of Table Rock Lake while largemouths are more abundant in its shallower waters. But that's not all that Table Rock Lake has to offer. Anglers also have the opportunity to hook into walleye - known for their delicious meat - as well as brown trout. Walleyes are most commonly found at night when they come up from deeper waters to feed on smaller baitfish close to shorelines. Brown trout can be caught year-round but are most active during the spring and fall months. Capt. Robbie has got everything covered for an enjoyable and successful day on the water. He will provide all the necessary fishing gear for a fun-filled day out on the water. From rods and reels to bait and tackle, he's got you covered. And if you're worried about thirst, don't worry - there will be plenty of drinking water available to keep you hydrated throughout your adventure. But that's not all - feel free to bring along your own food and drinks so that you can fully enjoy your time on board. Don't forget to obtain a fishing license beforehand. Don't miss out on being able to reel in the big one – book your trip now!
