    5 stars trip! Captain Randy is the best!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 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!

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Spotted Bass

    Five Star Charter!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 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!

    Lake Martin, March 2026

    Trolling Trip - 2:30 PM • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Randy was a very knowledgeable guide. We took our 4 kids (ages 13, 10, 8, & 5) fishing on Lake Martin. The boat was very nice and very clean. He had great equipment and knew all the local spots. The fish were being persnickety, but he worked extra hard to be sure we had a good time and caught a few. Will definitely fish with him again!

    Response from Captain

    thank you, looking forward to taking yall again!!
