Book your next trip with Lucy B Charters and find out what the fishing in Portland is all about.

Around here the fishing is popular for Striped Bass, Atlantic Mackerel, Lobster, Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Blue Shark, Thresher Shark, Porbeagle Shark, Mako Shark, Bluefin Tuna, Black Seabass, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your excursion begins aboard a Phoenix 29 Sportfish with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Chris has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Lucy B Charters.
