IN GOD WE TRUST
Lake
I have been guiding on Bull Shoals Lake for over 50 years. My specialties are Bass, White, Smallmouth, Largemouth, Kentucky, Striped, Walleye, Catfish, and Bream. I fish out of a Ranger Bass Boat and use both artificial and live bait. Whatever is working the best, unless you just want to use one or the other. Unlike other guides, I fish for 8 hours or more on the water, and if the bite is better in the morning or late afternoon, I will adjust my fishing to get you into the most and best fishing. That can even include split days of 3 to 4 hours early in the morning, come in, and then 3 to 4 hours in the evening to after dark. Come fish with the Dawg and you won't be disappointed! We can handle from 1 to 16 people.
River
I have been guiding the White River for over 50 years now. There are maybe a dozen guides left on the White River with that much experience. I started at the age of 16, on my birthday as a matter of fact. That customer still comes to fish every Spring with me. There is no weather or water condition from -11 degrees to 117 degrees. Rain, sleet, snow, cold, or heat, I have fished it all and still love it. From dead low water conditions to 8 generators with 17 floodgates open up 4 feet each, I have fished it all! I have been on 14-day camp trips or just 2-hour sightseeing trips, even fishing at night. I know the first 60 miles of the river like the back of my hand. I can fish in any weather or water condition that Mother Nature or the corps of engineers throw at me. We go CATCHING, not fishing. So if you want to go with one of the best, most experienced, and most knowledgeable guides on the White River, book a trip with me! We can handle 1 to 50 people. If you choose our Deluxe Trip, I will pull up onto the shore and cook your lunch which consists of trout you have caught, french fries, baked beans, homemade coleslaw, hush puppies, and cookies for dessert. Sincerely, Tim "Hotdawg" Curtis, the Fish Acquisition Specialist!!
