Murphy Outdoors

For the past 25 years I have been an avid bass fisherman and fish from 10 to 15 tournaments annually. These tournaments take me all over the state, but I have the greatest success on Smithville, Truman, the Lake of the Ozarks, and Pomme de Terre. I love to compete, but I especially love to learn from other anglers. If I'm not bass fishing I'll usually be found chasing white bass or hybrids, crappie, or musky on one of the many Corps of Engineers empoundments in Missouri. While I love to fish and spend time on the water, my passion is teaching people what I've learned and helping them to succeed! I have helped many family members and friends get into fishing, and I would like to help you as well. I retired awhile from my IT job, but now I'm back working part-time. I'm off 2 days a week, plus weekends, so now I have lots of time (and some financial freedom) to do what I love and follow my passion!  If I were you and I was reading this I'd be wondering "why should I pay THIS guy to take me fishing?" I've thought about this long and hard, and I think I have the answer....because I can teach you something. It's just that simple! If you're on the lake a couple times a week, or you fish tournaments regularly, then you don't need me as a guide. However, if you're just getting started or are new to these lakes, then why not shorten your learning curve? In the end a trip with me will actually save you time and money, and will make future fishing trips more productive and enjoyable.
