Overall an amazing day out on the water with Captain Patrick. We were lucky enough to catch three keeper size striped bass. Captain knows the area very well and was able to reccomend places to eat and visit while on our trip. Would absolutely recommend booking a charter with Pine State Guide Service and we defintiely plan on going again!
thank you Jacob for you kind words. what a great day catching both on chunks and live Mac’s. I certainly wish you all well and hope to see you back. Safe travels home
Pat is a born and raised Maine native, so he really knew the area and tell us about the area while we were in on a camping trip. My girlfiend and I had the best time. He took us to his top secret fishing hole and the reels were spinning! Bagged a few stripers. Throughout fishing, we had some time to explore the coast and Pat showed us all the historical remains along with stories.
thank you Joe and Jen for the kind review. it certainly was a pleasuee meeting you both. Should you return to Maine please reach out should you need a resourse. Safe travels home and enjoy rhe Striper!
We had a great day with patrick. He is very knowledgeable and a good teacher to those of us who were inexperienced on the water. We managed to catch two beautiful stripers!
