We had the most incredible fishing experience thanks to Captain John! It was our first time fishing for Stripers, and from the moment we stepped aboard his private charter, it was clear we were in expert hands.

Captain John not only knew the best fishing spots, he also had a deep understanding of the history of fishing in this area over the past 30 years, which made the trip even more engaging. His boat was immaculate, and safety was a top priority throughout the journey.

We caught close to 40 Stripers throughout the day, and the majority of which were shockingly over 40 inches!! We even caught a 45” Striper!! Captain John was patient and thorough in teaching us and we reeled in probably 70% of the bites we got, it was a surreal day to say the least.

I can’t recommend Captain John and his private fishing charter enough. Whether you’re an experienced angler or novices like we are, he will provide an unforgettable adventure on the water. We’ll definitely be returning for another unforgettable day of fishing with Captain John next summer when we visit Maine again!

Lastly, to make the day even more exciting, our trip with Captain John took an unexpected twist when an adolescent great white shark made a surprise appearance, snatching one of our catches about 10 feet from the boat! It was a thrilling moment that added an extra layer of excitement to our adventure. Captain John skillfully managed the situation, ensuring our safety while allowing us to witness this incredible spectacle up close.

We can’t wait to get back out on the water with him next summer!

We just finished our charter with Captain John and could not wait to write a review!  He is a true professional and certainly a skilled captain.  Between catching the bait fish mackerel (which was also so much fun) to landing some huge stripers, every moment was filled with excitement!  We would highly recommend him to new and seasoned fisherman.  He took great care to make sure we had a successful and safe charter.  Worth every penny!!

The fishing trip was awesome.  It was great seeing two of the group catch their first fish ever. Captain John did a great job helping everyone out.  We all caught fish, some got 4 fish.  We were able to keep one that Captain John cleaned for us.  The sights and wildlife were also awesome all day long.  I highly recommend Captain John.  If I had to find something that needed to change I guess it would be finding the boat launch area.  We had had a little problem, but locals were very helpful. 

I plan on using Captain John on my next visit to Maine.  He was so accommodating and helpful.

John is an excellent guide.  He put us on keeper stripers for the entire trip.  We left them biting!

John explains everything very well and he is a fun, engaging captain.  He tries very hard to deliver a great trip in every way.  No question, I would fish with him again.
