The 2013 season kicks off with relaxing accommodations that offer instant access to Highway 7 and downtown Warsaw, nestled right against the  historic "swinging bridge" landmark.

Plenty of brand new "party deck" offers lots of room for groups to relax and enjoy the scenery.

A sincere "thank you" for making the 2012 Snaggin Season the best ever!  Book early to assure your slot for 2013, (a great Christmas present)!

It is a thrill, and great fun for me helping you hook and land the giant fish of the Osage River basin.  This is truly an experience like nothing else on earth.  I endeavor to always meet and exceed your expectations for the best in outdoor adventure.  Come back soon and book early.

The Osage has a well deserved reputation as the Spoonbill Capital of the World.  It is March Madness like nowhere else on earth.  

We spend the rest of the year angling for the legendary monster Blue and Flathead catfish that deliver an experience like nothing else on pole and line. Spring 2012 catfishing was the best season on record.  There were plenty of eating size fish every day and a 65 pounder (catch and release) landed just days before snagging season.

Eagle watching adventures begin May 2, 2013 on Truman and Lake of the Ozarks. Bring your crew and join Anthony for a relaxing day watching live nesting eagles from the waters of the beautiful Osage basin of the Missouri Ozarks that he loves.

I have given up the online calendar.  It cuts too much into time on the water.

For 2013, some snagging days are already booked, many dates remain open.

Call or email and lets get hooked up for adventure on the water like nothing else on earth.

It Takes Work to Land a Monster

"When you’re going after the biggest fish in the lake, you don’t go to battle with a switch and a prayer."

Big Cats in the Winter Season

December, January, and February is prime time to catch the monster blues of the Osage.  Find them, catch them, almost that easy.
