because Truman lake and Lake of the Ozarks is a winner destination for the American bald eagle and a growing number of Golden Eagles. There are also pelicans, which start to show up in early fall and usually stay through the winter. It is not uncommon in a six hour day for me to see 20 to 30 Eagles and different birds of prey and hundreds of pelicans and other wintering birds. Trips would include two to three hour boat rides in an enclosed cabin (heated when necessary)!

Additional Packages Info:
It is fishing – not catching. In the rare event that we do not catch any fish, I will offer a 25% discount on your next booked trip.
Customers must provide food, drink, and a valid MO fishing license.
All trips include fish cleaning, however I will ask that you bring baggies for your filets or a way to transport your fish.

About Jason Smith, Master Captain

I was born in the Chicagoland area. At the age of 2, my family moved to Missouri with my grandparents to open the bait station called ‘Home of the Master Baiter’ on Stockton Lake. We owned the bait station from the time I was 2 to the age of 13. It was there that my love for fishing and the outdoors began! Helping customers by dipping bait and weighing fish are some of my earliest memories. I also contribute a lot of my passion for fishing to my two uncles, Buzz and Jeep. They both helped me stay on the water as a young man and shaped my fishing passion into what it is today. As I got older, I was introduced to snagging for spoonbill and was instantly hooked! As a young man, catfishing was throwing bait on the bottom and waiting for the fish. Since then, I’ve opened my eyes to many new techniques. I have dedicated most of my time to learning and testing several techniques with fishing for monster bluecats on Lake of the Ozarks and Truman Lake using the most up-to-date electronics. Going beyond the old school ways of fishing has brought more fish into my boat than I could have ever imagined. These techniques better allow me to put my guests on fish. Being on the water every day, fishing with new people, and teaching them what I know – there is no better job! This brought me to obtain my Master Captain’s license through the Coast Guard. Let the adventures begin!
