Our family of five - 3 teenagers- had never been striper fishing before.  We received a welcome letter the night before which had valuable information, particularly about what to wear and bring. 

Capt Eric was a great teacher and related well to everyone.  After a short stint jigging for mackerel, we spent 3 hours hunting for stripers (no success).  Eric worked hard throughout that time to put us on some fish and kept the mood upbeat. 

On the trip back into harbor , our luck turned and we ran into a school of stripers.  Eric managed the rods efficiently and everyone caught at least one striper. 

The boat was very comfortable for the five of us with places to stretch out when you weren’t fishing.  It even has a small bathroom to use during the trip. 

This was a five star experience all around.  Our family will definitely be going out on a charter with Capt Eric again.

Captain Eric was amazing! We had 6 people on board: mom, dad, grandpa and 3 kids. Eric was patient and attentive the entire time and great with the kids who are ages 9, 9, and 5! Quotes from the kids:
“Best fishing trip ever! I caught a 38” striped bass!”
“It was awesome and I caught dinner!”

Highly recommend for a family friendly and somehow relaxing time out on the water!

This was the best fishing trip while on vacation in Maine. Eric took the time to explain everything as he was able to put us on some monster fish. Truly a great expereince, especially from catching smaller stripers from our Chesapeake Bay. We will definitely be back!

Our charter with Captain Eric was the highlight of our Maine trip. Despite a slow start, Captain Eric kept us on the prowl and even stayed out an extra 45 minutes to make sure everyone on the boat was able to catch a Striped Bass. Captain Eric himself was friendly, knowledgable, and skilled, making sure we got the most out of our time on the water. We highly recommend working with GQ Charters!

We had a fantastic time! Captain Eric was knowledgeable, and really friendly! We caught 3 striper bass and were able to keep 2! He filleted them perfectly. We really had the time of our lives and highly recommend him! 😊
