What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Freeport, Maine for the first time?

He shows up late. Boat wouldn't start battery was dead. Took thebone out of our truck. Then tells us you will be lucky to even catch 1 fish. He stayed in one spot for maybe 20 minutes we started getting bites then he leaves and everything he stopped was maybe 15 minutes gave no time to fish. Then he only took us out for 3 hours when we paid for 4. This was the worst charter trip. He was just someone driving a boat. No one caught a bite but how could we. Do not recommend 550. For a 3 hour boat ride basically. Oh but we helped get his bait for his next charter he said. Seriously Stay Away.

Seems like striper fishing in Maine is just starting/heating up. I feel I was fortunate to catch one, let alone 3! Seems that end of June is a better time based on what I’ve learned. Fishing is always a game of skill and luck though. Every fisherman must know that!!! #FishOn

I used David’s recipe for pan blackened striped bass we caught, it was amazing. One of the very best tasting fish I have ever had! Thank you David

Definitely book a trip with Captain Cory he’s a awesome captain knows where to fish and what he’s doing you will not regret a second of it

Capt Dave will definitely work very hard to make sure you catch fish and have a good time. be sure you go with some one who knows exactly where the fish are and are biting.

Dress appropriately and if possible, buy a parking pass in advance if you are taking the early trip.

Be sure to understand if there is a bathroom on board the boat. It may be an issue on 3 to 4 hour trip for some people.

Make sure that you talk to local fishermen to know what fish are biting and where they can be found.

Yes but fish in responsable ways so we can sustain the experience for generation.
