Set’n Hooks Guide Service is located in Mooresville, NC and offers to show you a memorable time on Lake Norman. Kid-friendly!!!!

Capt. Will will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Striped bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Perch, Catfish, Bass, and Crappie, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 19’ Sea Hunt Center Console boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers(5 upon approved request). This boat comes with an ice-box and a wireless trolling motor, along with up-to-date electronics.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.  Be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions.

Things to remember: no alcohol, wear appropriate clothing, and be ready to have a great time!
