Book your next trip with Mako Wish Fishing Charters and find out what you're missing in Saco. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Craig can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Pollock, Cod, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, Mako Shark, Striped Bass, Thresher Shark, Taimen, Porbeagle Shark, Blue Shark, Bluefish (Tailor), Dogfish, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!"

On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your day begins aboard a 26' Walkaround that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

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. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Mako Wish Fishing Charters and get hooked!
