Wonderful trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 26, 20262 adults

The scenery was incredible and Justin was awesome! The trout and salmon didn’t cooperate so we switched over and caught some smallmouth. Nothing huge but tons of fun. Lake is right there on Acadia, and the trolling for trout and salmon is great especially for kids. Fun getaway for sure. Justin does mornings or evenings, and will work around your schedule.

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass

The scenery was beautiful and the fishing was great!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 25, 20261 adult1 child

We had an awesome day on the water with Justin! He was a fantastic guide who worked hard all day to keep us on fish and made sure my son had a great experience. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help with casting, lure selection, and landing fish, which made the trip even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a guide who genuinely cares about giving you a great experience, I highly recommend booking a trip with Justin.

Justin was an awesome guide. He was patient with my son and has a good sense of humor too boot! He knows the spots to fish and teaches you different methods to fish different varieties of fish. We were able to catch a nice sized salmon and some small mouth!

It was great having you aboard. It's always a pleasure to meet young anglers that are passionate about fishing. I'm glad I was able to keep him distracted long enough to let you catch that monster. Tight lines!
