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

Make sure to check ahead of time what the fishing is like. We happened to book our trip when fishing wasn’t that great, no fault of our captains. He did a great job putting us where the fish were, we just didn’t land any fish.

We should have waited for warmer water when stripers were biting. But we also lucked out on perfect weather for the first wonderful saturday in 15 weeks. No nibbles but the ride around Casco bay was beautiful.

Book this lobster trip! It is not fishing - we pulled 5 traps around the bay, which is the legal max.

Bring sunscreen and sun glasses. Everything else is provided. Just fish and enjoy!

Talk to the Capt. in advance and discuss your level of experience and targeted fish so he can offer best advice for a successful experience

Be prepared for a great experience - enjoy the nature and if you are lucky you will catch some striped bass and other incredible fish.

not recommended in june, never fished there before but it wasn't a good time and we didn't get any keepers. Caught one each for a six hour trip. it was very disappointing.
