    Gorgeous boat, great overall experience

    3-hr 4:00 PM Macks,Striper,Lobster • 4 adults

    Captain Howard and Captain Tim were awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Our family of four (two adults and two large teenagers) were the only clients on the boat and that felt really comfortable and spacious. The boat is beautiful and incredibly clean. We fished for mackerel, lobster, and striped bass and caught a bunch. The mackerel were used for bait and we caught two really good size bass (we released, but they were legal keepers.) Three hours was a great amount of time and we had a wonderful experience.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Atlantic Mackerel
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Sarah! Both of your kids did a great job landing their Mackerel and Stripers! We hope to see you next year!

    The most amazing day ever!!!

    4-hr Trip-Noon Offshore Groundfish • 4 adults • 1 child

    We went out with Captain Howard and Captain Tim today and had the trip of a lifetime! My kids, my husband, and myself will remember this trip forever! We’re always trying to make memories to last a lifetime and this one will definitely be at the top! The Captains were so great and patient with my kids, answered all the questions and stayed on top of the fish. The highlight of our trip though was the 300 plus pound bluefin tuna that we hooked on our last hour of the trip! Holy Moly, what a ride!!!!

    Reported catch:
    Pollock
    Haddock
    Cod
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Pam! You and your family all did a great job hauling in groundfish - and then that Bluefin Tuna hit! Nice teamwork getting it to the boat! We hope to see you next year!

    Fishing with Arthur

    3-hr 4:00 PM Macks,Striper,Lobster • 5 adults

    Captain Howard and crew were awesome. This trip was requested by my grandson AJ and when we arrived Captain Howard was awesome involving AJ in everything. He explained how to do what we needed to do to make it a successful outing. We learned about lobster trapping and how to make sure they were legal to keep. I would definitely recommend this charter to others and will use again when back in the area.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Scott! Your whole crew did a great job out there! Nice work landing that 30-inch Striper right at the end! See you next year!

    We caught crab, lobster, and atlantic mackerel. We could see the bigger fish but they weren’t cooperating with being caught. The captain was wonderful. very noce, very informative, made the kids feel good. the boat is wonderful, we had good weather and if we didnt have good luck we would switch it up and go somewhere else. the trip was interesting and fun the whole time. loved it and would gladly donit again.

    What a GREAT DAY FISHING

    4-hr Noon Trip Macks and Striper • 6 adults

    Capt. Howard and Capt Tim were amazing!! We were on fish right from the start of lines in the water and they kept positioning the boat to ensure we were in the right spot. We were able to see a whale breaching on our way to the fishing area as well as a sunfish and some tuna pushing bait fish to the surface/jumping out of the water! It was a great day for family fishing, and we highly recommend them!!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Shawn! Your whole family did a great job out there! We hope you enjoyed your seafood combo! Capt Howard

    Bass were not cooperative.🙁 Memories were made and it was a great time. Catching the bait fish was a blast and learned so much about the lobsters. Would definitely book again. Thanks for the little pole for our little guy!

    The 2 captains that drove us out were super helpful, experienced, and nice to me and my family on our fishing lobster trip. They let us keep all of our catches including a lot of lobster and crabs that they caught through their traps. we had a great time today, and if we ever come back to Maine we would definitely come back to the captains we had today.

    This trip was 6 people with 5 who never been deep sea fishing. Two kids 12 and under and 2 21 year olds plus two adults. The captain knew one of the kids was not feeling well after the first hour and sent to us to calmer waters. He knew it was time. I appreciate it. He also sent us out to catch Mackerels first. The boys loved it in fact one caught 4 on one line! This was a great experience. the youngest boy was thrilled to catch 12 himself. We would go back again without hesitation.

    We had such a gorgeous day on the ocean. Caught haddock, pollock, hake, and a bunch of sharks. We even saw dolphins, a huge sunfish, and a basking shark. The captains were amazing and truly made it a special day. My 13 year old son was begging to come back when it was over!

    Our family had wonderful time with Howard and Tim. They had great knowledge and were very helpful. We caught a supper full of fish.

What's biting with Maine Offshore Adventures in Saco

The weather is becoming less and less forgiving, and ocean fishing conditions are following suit. There aren't that many Striped Bass to hook, but on sunny days, you can see optimistic fly anglers on the Saco River, waiting for Trout.
