Book your next trip with PinWheel Tuna Fishing and find out what makes the fishing in Portland so unique. With Captain Tyler at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Porbeagle Shark, Pollock, Haddock, Bluefin Tuna, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with PinWheel Tuna Fishing are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You’ll be casting lines from a 55’ Dixon downeast that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
