Spend the day with Quick Hit Charters and find out what the fishing Raystown Lake is all about!

Lake Trout, Striped Bass, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Your boat for the day is a 21' Bayliner Trophy walkaround that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, warm clothes, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Quick Hit Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Hesston. So, how about booking that trip?

5 Hour Trip – Stripers on August 23, 20262 adults

Quick Hit Charters with Captain Clyde was everything I hoped for and more! Exactly what I expected—and then some. Captain Clyde is exceptional at what he does. He put us on fish almost immediately and kept the action going. He’s an all-around great captain, with great conversation and never a dull moment. If you’re looking to get what you pay for and then MORE, I highly, highly recommend Quick Hit Charters with Captain Clyde. I 100% will be back for more 31-lb, 42-inch striper action! What a blast! 🎣 Thank you so much, Captain Clyde, for everything you did. Until next time!

legendary fishing trip
6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout - 6:00 AM on July 9, 20262 adults2 children

We had an absolutely incredible day on the water with Captain Clyde! Our family caught 7 striped bass, including an unforgettable 21-pound trophy striper. It was truly a legendary day and one we’ll be talking about for years. Captain Clyde’s work ethic was outstanding. He was a true one-man show, expertly running the boat while constantly checking lines and keeping fresh live bait on the trolling rigs. He never stopped working to keep us on fish and make sure everyone was having a great time. His knowledge of Raystown Lake was second to none. He knew exactly where to go, when to move, and how to keep us on active fish. It was obvious he has spent countless hours learning the lake. If you’re looking for a guide who is hardworking, knowledgeable, and genuinely wants his clients to have an unforgettable experience, Captain Clyde is the one to book. He gave our family memories we’ll cherish forever, and we can’t wait to fish with him again. Five stars isn’t enough!

First Striper!
5 Hour Trip – Stripers on August 22, 20261 adult1 child

Had a great time with Captain Clyde with Quick Hit charter! Started with my son landing a very large small mouth! Captain had to work hard as the stripers were not cooperating. In the last minute of the trip my son got his first striper and biggest fish of his life! It was 20 lbs!! I can't believe it! What an awesome fish!!!

Response from Captain
