Fishing Trips for People with Disabilities
Fishing and boating designed with PWD and special needs in mind!
We serve everyone who wants the opportunity to fish and experience nature.
At Mike Doll Fishing Guide and Charter Captain Experience LLC we enjoy creating an inclusive experience for people with disabilities, special needs and their families. A guided fishing trip on Lake of the Ozarks is a way to create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
We also provide captains services on tri-toons for a tour on the lake. Captain Mike prides himself on showing people of all abilities his dedication, attention to details, and patience. We will help customize your trip to the best of our ability with the resources we have. While we would love to serve everyone, we do have some limitations.
We treat the opportunity to take anyone with different abilities fishing or boating, we provide guidance with patience, open-mindedness, and respect while keeping a keen eye on safety. Then we put a fishing rod in their hand to reel in memories. We are dedicated to doing our level best to deliver a relaxing productive day on the lake.
“Not long ago I had two fishing charters on Lake of the Ozarks that were new experiences to me. The first with a group of guys with hearing loss on a fun weekend together. We had a lot of fun, and they were an absolute gas to be with.
On the second trip I had a family consisting of a grandfather with his daughter and son. The son had two kids. One little boy about 5 or 6 years old was deaf and unable to speak. At the beginning of the trip, the boy was very skittish and held tight to his Aunt. By the end of the trip, he caught fish and followed my guidance to handle the equipment. He even sat with me to help me drive the boat. Then I awarded him as first mate. His family was amazed and so was I. This was my most memorable trip–a very humbling experience. I am grateful to the family for trusting me with that opportunity.”

Delivering the best experience for people with disabilities and their families at Lake of the Ozarks
Fishing can be enjoyed by all people of all abilities. One of the most pleasurable things in life is seeing people beam with joy after catching a fish. It doesn’t matter what a person’s special needs are, the thrill of the catch is the same for everyone!
Excited to help you build the best experience
We are happy to customize your needs for fishing with the resources we have. My current dock is not accessible. We can pick you up at your dock and Captain Mike knows the most accessible docks on the Lake. We do have access to a pickup location with elevators. We will do our best to accommodate you on our boat or on a suitable dock.

Fishing has no boundaries!
We will do the best we can with the resources and limitations we have, to provide for adults and children with special needs. We will do what we can, on our guided fishing charters, and boating excursions on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. Captain Mike is a US Coast Guard licensed Master with First Aid CPR AED training for adults, kids, and infants. He takes your experience seriously and delivers a safe fun day on the water for all.
Everyone should have a safe and comfortable environment to enjoy the outdoors. Fishing at Lake of the Ozarks is even a great experience from the docks with an experienced fishing guide. If being on a boat will not work for your situation, I can meet up with you and do all the fishing from the dock. Captain Mike is creative and passionate about building memories that suit your needs! It’s all about fun and a chance to feel free to experience nature’s bounty. Fishing can be a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn about the great outdoors and increase physical activity or expend energy in a positive way.
