Boomerang Fishing Tours is your ticket to the stunning waters of Casco Bay, and beyond.

Depending on trip type and target species and conditions, you might hook into Atlantic Mackerel, Pollock, Cod, Striped Bass, Flounder, Haddock, and whatever else takes the bait! On the day of your trip you're likely to jig, troll, and bottom fish using light tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! We are a friendly, fun, and safety-conscious crew. Be sure to let the crew know how many children will be joining for life-jacket purposes. You're welcome to bring snacks!

You'll be dropping lines from a 38' Young Brothers downeast with room for 16 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Even a stereo system, ask the crew what songs the fish enjoy!

Capt. Owen will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Boomerang Fishing Tours.

    Fishing with Owen

    3 Hour Trip – Mackerel on October 11, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Owen and his crew provided a great fishing experience for my family. We caught a ton of Mackerel and Pollock. We fished multiple spots in the bay of Maine and Casco bay. Captain Owen knew the exact spots to fish and he set multiple rods for the appropriate tackle. It was just an easy and fun day on the water. I would highly recommend this company for family or corporate outings. We will definitely be back for future trips .

    Conference Charter

    3 Hour Trip – Mackerel on October 5, 2026 • 16 adults

    We had an amazing experience with this fishing charter for our conference group! Captain Owen was absolutely wonderful to work with. As someone who knew very little about fishing, he made the entire planning process seamless and was incredibly helpful from start to finish. He was professional, accommodating, and made sure everything was organized for our group. Our attendees had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain or a better fishing excursion for our conference. Thank you, Captain Owen, for making this such a memorable experience! We would definitely work with you again.
