Marsh River Outfitters
Marsh River Outfitters
Spend the day with Marsh River Outfitters getting to know the waters along Maines senic coast fishing from Casco Bay up to Belfast and Blue Hill depending on the time of the season! Professional master Maine guide captain Andrew Gibbs or one of our great captains will work hard to give you an amazing experience fishing for Stripers along Maines coast! We have a fleet of boats and captains to provide many options!
Around here you can cast a line in inshore and nearshore waters, including some spots that only a local can show you.
The name of the game around here is spin fishing with live bait and trolling tubes and worm along with jigging, bottom fishing and fly fishing. Andrew will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and bait.
Many days we can go catch a bunch of live mackerel and use them to lure in some giant stripped bass!
Any keeper fish caught during the trip are yours to keep. Your captain can also clean your catch for you so it's easy to cook. Have a cooler ready in the car! You'll be fishing aboard one of our charter boats ranging from 21-26 feet with room for 6 passengers
A local fishing license is provided for you and Andrew will help you follow local regulations. Be sure to dress in layers and suitable footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen, no matter the weather.
This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring 'em along and pack any snacks or extra clothing they need. They should always wear life vests, so find out if the captain has the right size available or bring your own.
There is more than just fishing available aswell as we have plenty of sights and sea life to see so the whole family can enjoy!
Marsh River Outfitters is ready to take you out on the water. Time to make it happen!
We also can check the captains lobster traps when fishing out of Belfast! (Lobster fishing closed on sundays) these are available upon request

Sean Steinmetz5.0VerifiedAmazing experience! Highly recommend!
Half Day Trip – Stripers (PM) on August 18, 2026 • 4 adultsThis is our first year going out with this fishing charter and it was an amazing experience! Andrew was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He did not get frustrated when my daughter’s line got hooked on something underwater, he just got to work to free it. We had a group of four and we all caught a ton. The stripper was so big we had to throw them back after hard battles! This fishing trip with this charter was so much better than other trips we have booked! We will book again!
Tom ChowRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip, great boat, great Captain.
Half Day Trip – Stripers (AM) on July 3, 2026 • 6 adultsI took my two boys and their cousins and Captain Gibbs got them on action right away by getting bait. When the tide got right, we head out for big stripers. We got on then pretty quick and even had some bust the bait on topwater. Captain was great with the boys, and manning 4 lines while putting the boat on the right drift. Highly recommend this trip if you’re a seasoned fisher or even as a family trip.
Ginny Hulshult5.0VerifiedGreat experience.

We had an absolutely great time with Marsh River Outfitters! We started the day fishing for mackerel to use as bait, then headed out to fish for striped bass. We ended up getting two in the boat! Andrew really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to show us anything he could out on the water. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to have a great time and make the most of the trip. We had a fantastic day and would highly recommend Marsh River Outfitters to anyone looking for a great fishing charter. We’ll definitely be back!
It was great to have you guys. Thanks again! look forward to next time!

We had a wonderful time with Captain Andrew! He was very knowledgable about everything fishing and was great company! We had a slow start to our morning, but ended the trip catching a big stripper and having a try and a crazy tuna! Will 1000% be doing another trip with Captain Andrew when we are back in town - but definitely doing a full day trip next time! What a great time/experience - 12/10!
Unforgettable day out on the water with with my wife, and kids ages six and nine. Captain Andrew put us on the fish consistently, and was patient, kind, and helpful with the kids. We caught mackerel for bait and then hit some huge schools of big striped bass, bringing six to the boat with the biggest measuring 44 inches. So glad we chose this charter.
