Come spend the day fishing on beautiful Lake Belton with the help of Hook Set Guide Service. Together with your guide, Charles Howard, you’ll have a trip to remember for years to come. With more than 20 years of fishing experience under his belt, he knows all there is to know about this fishery and where to find the best angling spots.

His boat is a 24’ Skeeter center console that runs on a powerful 250 HP Yamaha V6 four stroke engine. It’s got room for up to 6 guests, which means you can take your family along for the ride and share the fun and excitement. The boat has everything you need for this type of fishing, including a GPS and fishfinder device, a livewell for bait storage, and a wireless trolling motor.

As for the fishing itself, Lake Belton is a real paradise for Striped Bass fishing. You’ll be using live bait for Stripers and artificials when fishing for White Bass. It’s good fishing throughout the year, so you’re more than welcome to come fishing any time you want!

You’ll be provided with all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle for getting the job done. Not only that but Capt. Charles will clean and fillet your catch after the trip. All you need to do is bring a valid fishing license, proper clothing for the weather, some drinks or snacks, and a cooler to take your catch home in. Hook Set Guide Service looks forward to getting you on some fish very soon!

Captain Charles - Gentleman - Easy Going
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 12, 20252 adults2 children
We have a really good trip. Weather was cold and wind was whipping but we kept at it and ended up with some nice keepers and over 60 fish caught. The Taco Lady never showed up on her boat with our fresh Chorizo and egg tacos, but that is okay. Lol.

Fishing trip with Hook Set Guide Service (Captain Charles) was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The fishing was great and we walked away with 30+ fish for a great fish fry that evening. Highly recommend and will book again with Captain Charles.
