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

Over all it was such a great experience for any level of fishing you are capable of. We had a blast and captain Joe is very professional and knowledgeable of the water surrounding areas while out fishing! All you need to do is bundle up a little and bring your drinks and snacks and he handles everything else you’d possibly need with ease! Such a great experience and time with family today!

Plenty of pollock and few cod (returned to the water, out of season). Too early in the season for mackerel.

Take a longer trip. The two hours was not enough! It went by very quick and I could have spent all afternoon fishing with Joe.

Dress in layers and prepare for a somewhat bumpy ride. Worth it for the fish, though!

Ask questions keep. Enjoy the scenery. Keep realistic expectations. The Captain is
