We have been fishing Lake Murray for 25 years. I have fished from Texas to Va. and most states between them. I was raised in North Carolina on a farm. Moved to Lake Murray 24 years ago and started fishing for striped bass. It is a thrill each time I go out fishing. My biggest on Lake Murray has been 30+ lb. but I know there are much bigger in the lake. I had the pleasure to be a part of catching a 55 lb. striper off the coast of North Carolina. 

​Playin hooky is a fishing guide service with one thing in mind, make sure you and your friends have a great day on the lake fishing. We have all of the USCG safety devices on board to insure everyone haves a safe day. We supply all bait, tackle and ice.  We have a 24' POLAR bay boat with all the latest electronices. Playin Hooky is proud to have the no fish guarantee. If no one in your party catch a fish, (the next trip is free).
