If you’re looking for abundant and diverse angling in the Northeast, we have two words for you – Saco fishing! Nestled on the Saco Bay, with Saco River as one of its borders, the town of Saco has a fishing reputation that’s worth talking about.
You can come here for Trout fly fishing action, and you won’t be disappointed. However, this is just to get you started. The bay fishery is treasure-hunt material, and here you can target anything from Striped Bass and Bluefish to Pollock, Haddock, and Cod. If you’re coming to Saco for an adrenaline-pumping experience, Bluefin Tuna fishing in the bluewater will blow your mind.
There are so many fish species to go after, and the choice of trips is equally varied. You can book a 4-hour excursion for Striped Bass that will be interesting for the whole family and spend a fun day on the boat. There are also full day trips for a mixed bag, if you’d like to try a bit of everything. If bottom fishing and Tuna are on your mind, there are expeditions that last anywhere from 8–24 hours that will turn all your angling dreams into reality.
Where you’ll meet your guide depends on whether you’d like to go fishing on the river, in the bay, or beyond. You’ll find a lot of charters at the Saco River Boat Ramp and Marston's Marina.
The good news about Saco fishing adventures is that you don’t have to find your way on your own – there are plenty of experienced guides to show you a good time on the water!
Going out with a charter usually means that you won’t have to worry about fishing licenses and ever-changing regulations. Bear in mind that if you’d like to fish for Sharks, you might need additional permits. Your guide will make it his business to keep you in the loop about the local laws and limits.
