Frequently Asked Questions about Fishing Charters in Maine

Fishing in Maine

The "Pine Tree State" is known for its greenery. But did you know Maine has excellent freshwater and saltwater fisheries, too? Blessed with thousands of lakes, miles of rivers and streams, and access to the Atlantic Ocean, Maine has endless fishing opportunities for seasoned anglers and novices alike. Just hop on any Maine fishing charter and have the time of your life!

Fishing in Maine means going after freshwater headliners like Landlocked Salmon and Brook Trout. Heading offshore implies you’ll be on a Bluefin Tuna and Shark pursuit. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Maine is home to a variety of species from Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike, and Perch, to American Pollock, Haddock, and Atlantic Mackerel.

Maine will reward you with year-round fishing spots. Winter is when the real fun begins. Cold fronts are reserved for ice fishing. And once the ice melts, any river or stream will be a fly fishing heaven. Half day trips are suitable for beginners, but a full day out on the water hits the sweet spot. For the more adventurous among you, we recommend 10 hour deep sea fishing marathons.

The truth is that you’ll be spoilt for choice when fishing in Maine. Wherever you cast your line from east to west, you’ll be in for a treat. Moosehead, Sebago, and Belgrade Lakes are must-fish inland destinations. Portland and Freeport are perfect offshore departure points. And when in doubt, just reach out to one of the numerous Maine fishing charters and they’ll be at your service.

Rules & Regulations

Every angler over 16 years old will need a fishing license. Mainers pay a lot of attention to their fisheries, so angling is closely monitored. There are bag, size, and even gear limitations. Residents and visitors to the state will have different permit options. So, if you’re planning to go fishing in Maine, make sure you get familiar with the current rules and regulations ahead of time.

Maine Fishing Seasons

January

There are plenty of ice fishing derbies to partake in from January to March. Moosehead Lake offers a three-day event in January.

February

Head to the ice fishing derby at Round Pond this month, or the Chocolate Festival on land. Lots to do for the whole family.

 
March

Another month, another ice fishing Derby! The Maine Ice Fishin’ Derby and Benefit can be done on all legal waters. Last month for ice fishing!

April

By mid-April the ice will have melted and the fisheries opened. Get out there and start hooking Trout, Salmon, and Bass.

 
May

This is the peak for surface fishing. You can troll the lakes for Salmon and Trout. Maine is beautiful in the spring, with crisp highs of 62°F.

June

It’s harder to surface fish now, as they start to descend to cooler depths. Grab you jigging gear! Maine B.A.S.S. Nation has a tournament in June.

July

July is a great month for Mackerel, tournaments, and festivals. Head to China Lake for Mainely Bass tournament and Yarmouth for their Clam festival.

August

It’s all about the Maine Lobster Festival in August – an awesome Lobster spectacular! Opening night sees the crowning of the Maine Sea Goddess!

September

Inshore, fish come back up to the surface, making perfect conditions for fly fishing. Fall fishing is strictly catch and release in Maine.

October

Join in the Somerset Bassmasters Tournament on the Belgrade Lakes. Will you catch the biggest fish?

November

November is a slow fishing month, so on land join in with the Thanksgiving festivities, like the Turkey Trot in Portland!

December

Some lakes allow ice fishing before the official season begins in January. Check the ice thickness and regulations and begin fishing!
