I started fishing with my dad when I was 5 years old, and I've been hooked ever since. That's over 20 years of passion for being on the water, learning new techniques, and sharing the experience with others. As a Registered Maine Guide, I love helping anglers of all skill levels enjoy fishing, whether it's their first time or their hundredth. My trips are fun, relaxed, and family-friendly—let's get out there and make some great fishing memories!

    Great captain and boat in a beautiful area!

    Half Day Bass Fishing2 adults

    My son and I wanted to do a little fishing while in Maine visiting Acadia. Joe was friendly and certainly knew the lake, as my son was reeling in bass within minutes of stopping at our first spot. Joe's new boat was pristine and had plenty of room. We enjoying chatting with Joe, learning about the area, taking in the beautiful sites, and reeling in a good amount of fish. Would definitely ride with Joe again!

    We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! Captain Joe was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt comfortable and had a great experience. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and we caught plenty of fish throughout the day. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole trip was relaxing and fun from start to finish. Whether you’re experienced or a first-timer, I highly recommend this trip.

    In spite of some less than favorable weather, we got out on the water quickly and caught a bunch of fish. Captain Joe was insightful and very helpful. Highly recommend!

    Thanks for the kind words Andrew! Glad you had a good time despite the rainy weather. Hope you're warm and comfy now.

    This was my almost nine-year old daughter's first time fishing and it was everything I could have wanted. Captain Joe was an excellent and patient teacher and she had a blast! We caught smallmouth, largemouth, and some bluegills. The boat was large and well-maintained. We will definitely book with Captain Joe again.

    Thank you for the high marks! I'm glad everyone had a great time and hope to do it again with you in the future!
