Prime Tide Striper Guide PLLC
If you're in the market for a memorable day on the water, look no further than Prime Tide Striper Guide PLLC ("Prime Tide"). With Captain Steve at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
The focus is always on Striped Bass, but Atlantic Mackerel and Pollock are often part of the equation, with hard-fighting Bluefish a seasonal possibility. You're sure to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of Casco Bay, too. Seals, porpoises, eagles and ospreys are routinely sighted.
You'll be dropping lines from a beautiful, new 21' Maritime Center console with ample space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials for a productive and safe day on the water, including top-notch modern electronics from Garmin. This vessel provides a safe, smooth and comfortable ride.
You will be in control of top-quality spinning gear, offering fresh live bait and/or the right lures to active fish. Making bait (usually Mackerel) is part of the fun… and Striped Bass love to eat mackerel!
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children 12 and under must wear life vests; please make sure Captain Steve knows the kids' ages and sizes beforehand.
All gear, bait and licensing is supplied by Prime Tide. Cold water is always available on-board.
Please remember your sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), hat. soft-soled shoes and extra layer to stay warm and dry, and you're welcome to bring your own food/snacks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid glass bottles. For safety reasons, no smoking is allowed on-board.
All applicable state and federal boating/fishing regulations are strictly adhered to. Captain Steve makes all safety/weather determinations.

3 Hour Trip – Family Fun on August 20, 2026 • 2 adultsCaption Steve took us out and my Wife caught her personal best 34” Striper even though conditions were not set up for it. Steve and has vast knowledge of the fisheries was able to dial in the area and find the feeding fish. i would and will highly recommend booking him if you are in the area and looking for an experienced Captain to get you tight lines.

3 Hour Trip – Family Fun - 1:00 PM on July 17, 2026 • 4 adultsWe went out with a private four man group and landed a fish on the first cast within minutes of setting up. Captain Steve was great and very knowledgeable. We had more bites but unfortunately the fish kept dropping our bait. Overall experience was very satisfactory and would recommend to use his service.
