Who he is on the water
Captain Randy Cound is a USCG-licensed captain with over twenty years guiding fishing and boating excursions on Lake Martin. He runs Lake Martin Excursions (published on Instagram as Hook N Up Guide Service) out of 397 Marina Pointe Road in Dadeville on the east side of the lake. The operation is built on personalized family and small-group trips — the social feed shows pontoon-based crappie, striper, and flathead catfish days along with family outings where kids are a primary audience. Safety and comfort are published as top priorities, and the captain emphasizes educational value for beginners alongside the fishing. Randy fishes an Angler Qualifier pontoon rigged for striper and crappie work with Suzuki outboard power and a Minn Kota trolling motor setup. Call or text 256-307-3740 to book. Verify current trip durations, capacity, and rates directly with Randy at booking.
