Fishing in Maine

Discover the unparalleled fishing adventures that Maine offers, from its vast freshwater lakes and rivers to the abundant Atlantic coastline. With thousands of inland waterways and deep-sea access, Maine is a premier destination for targeting trophy Landlocked Salmon—the state fish—along with feisty Brook Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and Lake Trout in iconic spots like Moosehead, Sebago, and Belgrade Lakes.

Saltwater enthusiasts flock to Maine's coast for heart-pounding battles with massive Bluefin Tuna, Sharks (including Blue, Mako, and Porbeagle species), and hard-fighting Striped Bass. Inshore favorites like Haddock, Cod, and Atlantic Mackerel thrive in fertile grounds such as Casco Bay and Portland, where charters deliver year-round action. Winter transforms lakes into ice-fishing hotspots, while spring and summer ignite fly-fishing opportunities across rivers and streams.

Whether you seek serene freshwater havens or adrenaline-fueled deep-sea expeditions, Maine's diverse ecosystems cater to every angler. Expert-led charters tailor trips to seasonal peaks, ensuring unforgettable catches against New England's stunning backdrop.

    (Half Day- Fishing & Lobster Combo)

    One of the best trips we’ve taken

    Dress in layers. It was chilly in the morning, warmed up as we moved toward noon, then the wind picked up and it got chilly again. Dock store has ice but not much else. Bring a cooler for your catch and anything else you may need.

    Great fishing trip

    Our striper trip in Saco, Maine was fantastic thanks to our guide, Tom. Fishing had been slow for a few days, but Tom’s experience and determination paid off. We landed three beautiful stripers. He knew exactly where to go and worked tirelessly to keep us on fish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would gladly fish with Tom again. Highly recommended!

    Weather was overcast for us which made for cool, almost cold temperatures that morning. Bring an extra layer just to be safe. Hat and sunglasses recommended as well.

    I had an amazing time with Captain Charlie. Caught many fish - salmon and lake trout - and got to take home a 6lb salmon and 6lb lake trout. Also saw many bald eagles throughout the morning. I learned a lot and would recommend this to everyone. I'll definitely be booking again.

    Captain Jonathan was patient, knowledgeable, and kind to us out-of-state rusty fishermen! He made what could have been disappointing (fish weren't biting) a very fun experience.

    Awesome Experience!

    Captain Charlie was awesome! I had my two boys (7 & 4) and he explained everything to them and kept their attention on what they needed to do. The weather conditions were not optimal for catching a lot of fish, but we managed to haul in 3 decent sized fish. Memorable catches for my boys! If you want to find someone who makes fishing fun, go with Captain Charlie & Bucks Bass and Beyond!

    This was our 4th trip with Eagle’s Rock. We had a great time, as always! Catching mackerel for bait was surprisingly really fun. And we brought home a bunch of lobster from the traps we checked. Sadly we didnt catch a single striper. But not for lack of trying! Donna was doing everything in her power to put us on the fish, but they just werent biting. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
