Full description and what we offer

Captain Paul Malone grew up fishing farm ponds with his dad along the Mississippi River at age 2. By 15, he'd already won his first local tournament—and never stopped. He fished 2-3 tournaments weekly, dominating local circuits before moving into bigger competitions including BASS Master Opens and FLW Costa tournaments.

Now he shares that expertise through guided trips and instruction.

  • Guided Bass Fishing Trips on Mississippi River Pools 7-14
  • Waterfowl Hunting Guides for the same river sections
  • Fishing Lessons for individuals and teams
  • Fishing Seminars for high school and college programs
  • Photography Services available during guide trips

Captain Paul is sponsored by Bass Pro Shops and partners with Fitzgerald Rods, Dem Jigs, Vanilla Bug Spray, and Power-Pole—meaning you're working with gear he trusts in competition.

"He has a passion for fishing and loves to teach and get others involved in the sport."

Whether you're learning to fish or sharpening tournament skills, Paul brings hands-on experience from years competing at the highest regional levels.
