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 and crew 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 Andrew 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)

Great trip, great boat, great Captain.
Half Day Trip – Stripers (AM) on July 3, 20266 adults

I 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.

Awesome Fishing Trip!
3/4 Day AM – Stripers on June 28, 20264 adults2 children

We had a great trip with Captain Andrew! We told him the priority was catching something to eat, so he put us on some Pollack and Mackerel right away. We caught a ton of those and then decided to try for some stripers. Those weren’t quite running yet, so we didn’t catch any, but had plenty of food to take home and had such a great time!

Great Day On The Water
3/4 Day AM – Stripers on July 23, 20253 adults

Andrew was awesome! My two boys (15 & 16) and I did a 3/4 day out of Blue Hill for Stripers. We’re all experienced fishermen but know nothing about the water or fish in this part of the country. Andrew met us at the dock on time, rigged and ready. The boat was well equipped. Spent a little time catching bait before we made it to our first spot. Fishing was a little slow (according to local standards, apparently), but it was clear Andrew knew the waters, and kept moving around until we got onto the fish. By the end of the trip we had all landed monster stripers! All were over slot limit so it was strictly catch and release for us, which we probably would have done anyway. Will definitely book with Andrew again if we are back. Highly recommend for experienced fishermen or novices.

Half Day Trip – Stripers (AM) on June 24, 20266 adults

We didn’t catch any fish, but Captain Andrew was amazing. We were able to see so much wildlife. Seals, eagles, porpoises. Amazing views. Great trip even with catching no fish. Thank you Andrew!

Great trip
Half Day Trip – Stripers (PM) on June 19, 20265 adults

The trip was a beautiful boat ride that my family really enjoyed. Captain Gibbs was great. We did not catch any fish that day but it was not from lack of trying. I highly recommend Captain Gibbs.
