I worked on the big cedar dock for two summers and would open the marina (I live on the lake). I got to have lots of conversations with all of the guides. Really great guys that know their stuff. There is a list of over 30 guides, but mostly 5-10 guides are the regulars because they are the best and are great with the guests. If they have the best reviews, they get put at the top of the list. I haven't worked there for two summers but there is an old man named Jimmy who is a dock hand at Bent Hook and Long Creek Marina. He has lived on the lake his entire life and is one of the best fisherman on table rock lake. He is also on the guide list. Great guy. Good stories. Call and ask if he still guides. If not, ask for a recommendation and they will put you with a good guide. I've always seen the guides come back with a good amount of fish, even when it is supposed to be tough fishing.
