Incredible Fishing Experience. We had the opportunity to go on a trip last week with Captain Aaron of Captain Rick’s Fishing Guide Service! It was myself and two children. What a great experience. Aaron was patient, friendly and courteous the entire trip. Aaron was extremely positive and offered a lot of really great instructional tips for the kids. He was a fantastic teacher. He told us he has three main goals for every trip: To teach us how to be safe, have fun, catch fish. We did all three. He put us on a ton of fish. Think we caught around 80 total on the day. The kids absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend a trip with Captain Rick or Captain Aaron for families, kids or even the avid fisherman. You won’t be disappointed.

Aaron was awesome! We stayed catching fish and he was very attentive. We got to catch 3 different species that we do not have where we live. It was a lot of fun and I HIGHLY recommend their guide service!

Spent day with Capt Aaron hunting bass, besides a beautiful time on water we caught a lot of bass and had a ton of fun.

Aaron is an excellent guide and host. His passion and knowledge of his profession shines through. We gained knowledge of the lake and fish patterns, so much more than just putting us on fish.

We contacted Rick on the recommendation of my partner who has hired him many times over the years as a fishing guide for his boys. We have only had the opportunity to get to Table Rock lake once and our experience was fantastic. He was very friendly, a great teacher for my two young boys-which was their first time bass fishing. I would recommend him highly. We definitely plan on returning in the near future.

I, like most people, hired Rick from something I read online. I have had good and bad experience with guide services in the past, but after my first trip with Rick, I finally enjoyed myself. Rick can fish with the best of them, and helped me take my fishing to a new level. On several of my trips I brought along a good friend of mine that has Parkinson’s. He turned me loose on the trolling motor and helped him… it’s because of his ability to realize “what’s truly important” that keeps me coming back. It’s nice to catch fish, but a trip can’t always be judged by the expectations we put on it… One of the best instructional fishing trips we had involved the lake up so high we launched the boat from the parking lot, fished for 9 hours, and didn’t catch a fish… I don’t recall if either of us even got bit! I just wish he would get a new ring tone… But then again… unpopular guides probably don’t have to worry about their phones ringing.

Fished with Capt Aaron on Table Rock Lake. Better than I could have hoped for! Aaron put us on great spots all morning, showed us exactly what we needed to do, provided great tackle, lures, and live bait. I have fished many guides from the gulf coast to MO to KY Lake and Aaron was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Everything you would want in a fishing guide, and Table Rock is a premier fishing lake. This made the vacation! Thanks!!

We could not have selected a better fishing guide than Capt. Rick LaPoint for our Table Rock Lake fishing trip. My wife, 11-year old son and I had an excellent time fishing with Rick. He kept us safe on a tough weather day while still catching many nice 'keepers' of bass. I appreciated the time he took with my son and wife. I learned more than a few things with our day on the water. We will most definitely select Rick again when we return.

Rick has been a service provider for me for many years. He is a leader in his field and dedicated to first rate service. His focus on family values, high integrity, instruction and his relaxed personality always makes for a pleasurable day on the water. I would certainly recommend Rick's service to all with an interest in the outdoors.
