We should have waited for warmer water when stripers were biting. But we also lucked out on perfect weather for the first wonderful saturday in 15 weeks. No nibbles but the ride around Casco bay was beautiful.

June is typically a great month for stripers. However, the unseasonably cold spring led to slower fishing. Look for warmer weather for a better shot at Stripers.

Over all it was such a great experience for any level of fishing you are capable of. We had a blast and captain Joe is very professional and knowledgeable of the water surrounding areas while out fishing! All you need to do is bundle up a little and bring your drinks and snacks and he handles everything else you’d possibly need with ease! Such a great experience and time with family today!

Make sure you go before the waters cool & the stripers head to the Chesapeake to spawn. They'll put a bend in your rod & scream that drag!

Four hours and 7 fish, 2 that got off at the boat. Not bad for September I’d say. Also, all good size fish. Smallest was 27in and biggest was 34in

Wear warm clothes, waterproof if you have them! It can get windy out there and the weather can turn, so wear sunscreen and bring layers! There's not a lot of room on the boat and turning back for the bathroom is hard, so prepare accordingly!

Captain Joe took my sons (ages 12, 11, 9) and me out for 4 hours of striper fishing. He was a great guide—knowledgeable, friendly, fun to talk to, and great with the boys. In addition to the fishing, we saw ospreys in their nests, seals, and a bald eagle. We all had a great time. Highly recommend!

I would recommend this trip for anyone who likes to fish, and likes to learn. This is much more than a fishing trip. This is a class on fishing, ecological stewardship, and Maine coastal history. This would be a great trip for families.

Although it was a slow day of fishing, Tom was great and went to several different spots and tried different fishing techniques to try and put us on the fish and we did end up pulling in one fish and a couple keeper lobsters. We had a great time seeing the area from the boat and would definitely book again!

Joe took me and my 3 grandchildren (ages 7, 7 and 9) out for a great morning of fishing and learning about oysters, crabs and lobsters. The look on my grandkids faces said it all when they brought up 3 fish at a time. Can’t wait till next year to try again to land a big striped bass.

This was a birthday present for my best friend's 12 yr
son. He is so into fishing but has bever caught a fish. This turned out to be the best present ever! He not only call his first fish, but was the first one on the trip to catch a fish. Aaron was awesome! He patiently answered all of our questions and was as excited as we were when Zander caught his fish. We have already talked about making this an annual thing
