Make the most of your time in South Portland and go fishing with Origin Outfitters. Captain Bryan will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of local experience.

These waters are known for Striped Bass and occasionally Blue Fish – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. Capt Bryan's specialty is fly fishing and he welcomes complete beginners to seasoned veterans. Light tackle is also an option! We specialize the trip for your perfect day on the water.

Any fish caught on these trips will be released.

Capt. Bryan welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your adventure begins aboard a 21' Cobia center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Bryan will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Origin Outfitters and get hooked!

*Please note, depending on the trip type selected the meeting location may change. Capt. Bryan will coordinate with you directly. Both locations are within 30 minutes of one another.

    Absolutely wonderful🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    Full Day Trip – Saco Bay on May 15, 2025 • 4 adults

    I recently had an incredible fishing trip on the Saco Waters with Brian, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Brian's expertise and friendly demeanor made the day both educational and enjoyable. The waters were calm, the scenery breathtaking, and the fish were biting! Brian knew all the best spots, ensuring that we had plenty of action throughout the day. His knowledge of local fishing techniques and the area’s unique ecosystem added an enriching layer to the adventure. What stood out the most was Brian's attention to detail and dedication to making sure everyone had a great time, regardless of their fishing experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, this trip is perfect for all skill levels. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a trip on the Saco Waters with Bryan. You won’t be disappointed!

    Fun day on the water!

    Full Day Trip – Casco Bay on July 21, 2025 • 3 adults

    In spite of the cool wind that prevailed throughout the day we had a lovely day angling for stripers. Despite employing Captain Bryan’s various methods for catching a fish we were hard pressed to get one on our lines. But it was a fun trip just the same and the mackerel were game and we caught enough for bait in the beginning. Saw seals and porpoises and sea birds galore! Bryan was knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic. Really nice guy! We would totally do it again!

    Captain Bryan wasted no time getting my family on the fish. Seemed like fishing with a friend. If one spot was slower, he moved us to a hot spot. I can't wait to go back out. It's a must in our eyes.
