    5 stars trip! Captain Randy is the best!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Hook N Up Fishing Guide! Captain Randy was absolutely the best. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Lake Martin and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. He was fantastic with our kids—patient, encouraging, and made sure everyone had a great time. We caught some really nice fish, learned a lot, and created memories our family will never forget. If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and successful day on the water, I highly recommend booking Captain Randy for your next fishing excursion. We can’t wait to come back and fish with him again!

    Five Star Charter!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    This was our third trip to Lake Martin and our first charter there. With certainty we will only fish with Capt. Randy on our annual lake trips. Extremely knowledgable, friendly and catches fish. He went out of his way for us, tolerated two 9 year olds, taught us about lake fishing and the community. It was a great trip, and we greatly appreciate him. 10 out of 10 Charter. You wont regret it!

    Cold front, high barometric pressure, and wind made it a tough day. Weak bite, but Capt Randy put us on fish! The family celebrated my daughters graduation with a great trip. Thanks to Captain Randy
