If fishing in Columbia is on your bucket list, look no further than Playin Hooky Fishing Guide. Your guide for the day is Captain Ronnie, so you'll benefit from years of professional experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Striped Bass and anything else that bites. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any Striped Bass within the legal limit of 5 per person is yours to keep. The captain offers catch cleaning and filleting for an additional cost.

Your boat for the day is a 24' Angler Qwest pontoon boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips with Playin Hooky Fishing Guide are child-friendly, so get 'em offline and onto the water! It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen with Playin Hooky Fishing Guide!

Book This Now!❤️❤️❤️
Half Day Trip – Stripers/Catfish on June 12, 20262 adults

I booked this trip as a Father’s Day gift for my husband because he loves fishing, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! Booking was quick and easy. The same day I made the reservation, Capt. Ronnie called me personally. He was friendly, personable, and made me feel confident that we were in good hands. On the morning of the trip, my husband and I got a little lost, but when I called, Capt. Ronnie patiently guided us to the pickup location. Throughout the trip, Capt. Ronnie was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. We caught our fair share of fish, and whenever the bite slowed down, he quickly moved us to another spot to keep the action going. One of the highlights was watching Capt. Ronnie clean and fillet all of our fish while teaching us how to do it ourselves. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I highly, highly recommend Capt. Ronnie and Playing Hooky Charters. He definitely did not disappoint! We look forward to booking another trip in the future. Thank you, Capt. Ronnie, for helping make this Father’s Day such a memorable and special one for my husband! ❤️❤️❤️
