Amanda Moody5.0VerifiedTrip of a lifetime!
3 hour trip on April 22, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childI am so thankful to have found Captain Jacob Wade of Real Deal Guide Service! He put my 12 year old son on 2 huge spoonbill, and made a little boys dreams come true. The boat was exceptional, and Captain Jacob was professional, extremely knowledgeable and was so kind to my to my son and I. Truly one of the nicest people I've met in a long time. I highly recommend him and we will definitely be back next year to fish with Real Deal Guide service! A+++++!

3 hour trip on August 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childHaving Mike Gold take us out we incredible from the start. He really focused on making our son the center of the morning, just like we asked. Caught about 30 fish that morning, mostly bass and the whole family spent time reeling them in.

Kimberly Lindamood5.0VerifiedFamily’s First Trip Fishing Together.
3 hour trip on July 1, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Gold knew this was our first time taking our 10 year old son fishing, and he made sure it was the most fun for him. We caught 7 fish in the first hour and half! He was knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and did his very best to take us to several spots for the best opportunity to catch. To make it even better, our weather was perfect, and the lake/scenery was beautiful. We didn’t catch anything there last hour, but that didn’t matter; we enjoyed our time on the water. 3 hours is just the right amount of time. Thank you Captain Gold!
David DonleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat morning fishing with Wes!
Half Day Trip – Early Morning on August 2, 2025 • 2 adultsHad a great time with Capt Wes on Table Rock! Weather was nicer than the bite, but Wes kept up on fish all morning. Came home with a nice walleye and some XL bluegill.
Francisco Briseno5.0VerifiedBest time I’ve had on the water ever.
Half Day Trip – Early Morning on August 1, 2022 • 1 adultWent to Branson Missouri this weekend with the family and had the opportunity to fish Table Rock Lake. If you go to Branson and want to go fishing contact Captain Jacob Wade from Real Deal Guide Service, he is very knowledgeable and will flat out put you on them. He put me on my PB Smallmouth also which was the cherry on top. We ended up with about 18 pound bag. I even broke my brand new rod and Jacob gave me one of his to replace mine even though I told him no, he wouldn’t take no for answer. Tell me another guide that does that?! At the end of the trip he gave me baits that we used. Overall it was an incredible experience and will definitely book another fishing trip with Captain Jacob Wade.
