FISHING GUIDE SERVICE
PROFILE
Jim Van Hook
Professional guide, tournament fisherman, & outdoor writer
|
I started fishing Table Rock Lake in 1985 and have been guiding here since
1992. Prior to moving to the Branson, Missouri area, I was heavily involved in an
almost 400 member fishing club in the Chicago area, the South Side Muskie
Hawks chapter of Muskies, Inc. Over the years I have fished a large
number of bass and musky tournaments, different circuits, open tournaments,
charity tournaments, and the Professional Musky Tournament
Trail. I am a life member of Muskies, Inc. and Operation Bass. I have written
various fishing articles for Midwest Outdoors, Outdoor Notebook, and Muskie
Magazine. I really enjoy teaching
people about fishing and helping them put those lunkers in the boat. My philosophy of a good day on the water consists of the following, in order of importance: You have a safe day You have an enjoyable day You learn something about fishing, if you care to, and, Hopefully, the fish cooperate!
