All fishing trips take place on the Missouri River near Omaha,Ne. We do travel and offer fishing trips within a few hours of Omaha,Nebraska in Northwest Missouri. Location depends on river conditions, fish movement, and time of the year. River levels can affect fish movements up and down the river. In the spring with rising water levels and warming temperatures the fish generally migrate up river. In receding water or cooling water temperatures typically in the fall the fish tend to move back downriver.

The potential to land a catfish exceeding 100 Ibs. is possible on any trip. We currently own the Nebraska and Iowa state record blue catfish at a 60 inch 100+ ib. giant!! During the 2025 fishing season our biggest fish were over 20 blues weighing in the 80s, 6 in the 90s, and 5 fish exceeding the 100 mark. We heard it was a tough year for a lot of local fisherman in our area however we succeeded as we always do. In our eyes smaller fish numbers were down however the big fish were not. We are relentless, we are determined, we are extremely aggressive in our pursuit of giant catfish. In 2026 we plan to attempt to break our own records if river conditions continue to be favorable.
