Playin Hooky Fishing Guide
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!

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! ❤️❤️❤️
The Captain was great, knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Fished for striped bass, fishing was slow, managed a few fish even though the conditions weren’t ideal Captain Ronnie worked hard to find the fish, the water temperature was too high and the fish weren’t biting. Sometimes that happens. Would fish again with him in a heartbeat! Highly recommend Captain Ronnie and Playin Hooky charters.

Captain Ronnie, Thank you for making our adventure so memorable. The wind didn't cooperate but we still had a great time. Captain Ronnie is so knowledgeable and accommodating we're looking forward to another trip in the near future!!

This was the best fishing trip my father and I have ever experienced. Mr. Ronnie put us on several fish and my Dad caught his first Stripper Bass. Thank yoh for such an incredible memory..

Captain Ronnie provided a great experience and put us on fish! My father-in-law landed a 20 lbs catfish and we were on stripers all morning.
