His love for the sport is clear in the way he leads each trip, ensuring that both novice and experienced anglers enjoy their time on the water, regardless of the fish’s cooperation.

For those looking to try something a bit different, Eric also provides bowfishing trips on Table Rock and Bull Shoals lakes, where participants can target species like bluegill, carp, suckers, buffalo, and gar. Bowfishing trips take place at sunset, with all gear provided, and are a thrilling way to enjoy the water under the cover of night.
The guide service offers several trip options to fit different schedules, ranging from 2-hour trips to full-day 8-hour excursions.

The boats used for the guided trips include a Ranger Z520L bass boat, designed for stability, speed, and ease of fishing. It offers plenty of room for casting and is equipped with top-of-the-line electronics to help locate fish. For bowfishing trips, a specialized boat is used, featuring bowfishing lights and a shooting platform to enhance visibility after dark. With the ability to accommodate up to five people, Eric’s boats are spacious and well-equipped to provide a comfortable fishing experience.
