If you're going to cast a line in South Portland, look no further than Pine State Guide Service. With Captain Patrick at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Atlantic Mackerel, Striped Bass, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Patrick also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll step aboard a 30' Parker sportfishing vessel with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Patrick has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don't leave home without a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (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, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Pine State Guide Service!

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!
thank you Jon great tome great family.
Patrick is awesome! Our family had a great time first catching bait then catching our 2 striper fish! Absolutely great guy, great captain and knows the water, where to go and when to move. Our 10 year old didn’t get bored and our teenager stayed engaged and off his phone! We are newbies to ocean fishing and he made our trip educational as well as fun, can not say enough good things! Thank you for some great memories and hope to see you next year!
Thank you for all the kind words Sabrina. I certainly look forward to seeing you all again. Tell the boys they did a great job.
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!
Patrick was very nice and friendly and a great fisherman 10/10
thank you, Billy. Had a wonderful day with you guys. Good to meet you. 
My fiancé and I had an amazing time with Captain Pat. We caught a bunch of mackerels to try and get the striped bass. He took us around 2 of Portland lighthouse and helped us take a beautiful picture. The communication from the moment I booked till the day off was great! We will definitely come back and book again in the future.
