Tiderunner Fishing Charters
Come fishing with Captain Pierce of Tiderunner Fishing Charters. We will use light tackle to target Striped Bass in the mighty Piscataqua River, or use live bait along the rocky coastline of southern Maine.
Your vessel for the day is a 20' Sportsman center console with capacity for 3 passengers plus the Captain. It comes with all the essentials and more! Trips with Tiderunner are child-friendly, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Child-sized life vests are available. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. We will catch live bait on the way out to the fishing grounds.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. Catch and release is recommended, but if you want to keep a legal fish the captain will clean it for you.
Check the weather before you pack for the trip! You should bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock, and any food and soft drinks you want. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

Your captain
Eliot, Maine, United States
I grew up on the banks of the Piscataqua River in Maine and have been fishing it for years, perfecting techniques and finding all the hot spots. I have been operating small motor boats since I was a teenager and have been taking friends and family out since then. In 2024 I got my Captain's License and became a Registered Maine Guide so I can turn my hobby into a profession!
