    Best trip ever

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    If you’re considering a guided fishing trip, do yourself a favor and book with Charlie at Fish On Fishing Guide Service. We limited out on fish this morning, but the catch was only part of what made the trip outstanding. Charlie exceeded our expectations in every way. He was professional, knowledgeable, personable, and worked hard from the time we launched until we headed back to the dock. He knew exactly where the fish were and kept us on them all morning. His boat and equipment were clean, well-maintained, and everything was ready to go. What really stood out was how much Charlie genuinely cares about his clients having a great experience. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first trip, he’ll make sure you have a successful and enjoyable day on the water. We’ll definitely be booking with Fish On Fishing Guide Service again, and I recommend Charlie without hesitation. Thanks for an unforgettable day on the lake!

    Best Trip Ever!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son (who is 10) and I recently booked a charter with Fish-On Guide Service on Lake Livingston, and it was an outstanding experience. Our guide, Charlie, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. We caught plenty of fish and had a great time from start to finish. The highlight of the trip was watching my son catch an incredible 25-pound yellow catfish - an experience he will never forget! Charlie made the day fun, educational, and exciting, and my son had an amazing time he’s been talking about days afterward. If you are looking for a great fishing trip on Lake Livingston, I highly recommend Charlie with Fish-On Guide Service. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great day out!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Charlie was laid back and fun, well organized, easy to book with thru the app, and we had a great time. This was good for 2 people but would also be good for up to 4 people. We limited out in about 2.5 hours and it was such a thrill! All the fish was cleaned and bagged for us to take back home. Getting there was easy, the equipment was nice too. I’d recommend this to any one or a family looking for a great half-day activity on the water. We will definitely book with captain Charlie again!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Charlie, I would like to personally thank you for a wonderful fishing trip. We completely enjoyed our trip today. Thank you for explaining how to catch the fish and moving around and finding the fish. Jim and I don’t think our trip could’ve been any better. Thanks again.

    Charles was EXCELLENT!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Charles was a great guide. We had two children 10 and 12, he helped teach them tips, tricks and put us on the fish! My wife that isnt the biggest fan of fishing not only had a blast but caught more than anyone with Charles guiding her. Highly recommend!
