With a lifetime of experience fishing Casco Bay from the Royal River to the Fore River and the Back Bay, Capt. Aaron Landry offers anglers a full tour of tributaries, flats and beaches, as well as the rocky shores of Cape Elizabeth and the many islands located off Portland.

Anglers can expect a highly visual experience fishing in shallow water, often spotting the fish before casting. From years of angling in the waters of Casco Bay, Capt. Aaron has a deep knowledge of the Striped Bass population that migrates into the Gulf of Maine each year.

Capt. Aaron tailors the trip around anglers' desires as well as weather, tide schedules, and migration status of fish. Charters will primarily focus on Striped Bass. Other species can be targeted upon request. Anglers are provided rods, reels, and tackle for all fishing situations.

The boat will be stocked with a cooler of ice, Gatorade, and water and licenses are included.

Absolutely fantastic family fishing trip
2 Hour Family Fishing Trip on August 4, 20264 adults2 children

Captain Aaron was great! He took time and talked to our 4 and seven year olds making them have a great time. He was very knowledgeable of the area and knew where the fish were. We caught Cod. Pollack, Mackerel and another type I don’t remember the name. He narrated the whole trip explaining the area around Portland Harbor and the Portland Head Lighthouse. When our time was up he took extra time to show us seal that we said we were interested in seeing. It was a great day for our family of six and we highly recommend Rock and Sand Charters with Captain Aaron.

Amazing trip....we learned so much too!
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on August 5, 20263 adults

Captain Aaron was a great teacher, kind, and really wanted us to catch fish. He was probably happier and super psyched when we landed 2 HUGE stripers after hunting them for a few hours. Thanks for showing us a super unique way of fishing...we enjoyed our time so much!!

Fun Morning at Sea
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on August 6, 20264 adults1 child

It was fun for sure despite one down and out with the rolling waves. We never had fished for bait fish so that was new to us. Only thing is we wish there was bait on board so we could have fished for stripper longer. We are an expercied fihsing crew and sometimes you are on them and sometimes not. We higly recommend!
