What anglers said about fishing in Maine

Tough to respond because this was our first time, and we were up against hurricane waves. We got pretty lucky, but there are definitely great spots, and lots of options!

Just remember that fishing takes patience and not every trip gets a catch! Take the whole experience in and make the memories because there’s always something to be grateful for!

Book a trip because you really get to see Portland from a view you can’t see unless you’re on the water

Cod season is short in the spring and fall. The customizeable trip is probably the best so you can get a variety.

If you have not been on a boat in a while, dress in layers, it can get chilly on the water, and take motion sickness meds before you hit the water if you are prone to sea sickness. Then have a great time!

Apparently this is a poor year for haddock and cod, which is what we signed up for when we booked. We were recommended to not do this upon arriving due to a combination of choppy seas and poor recent success.

Wear layers. You can always take them off, but you can’t put them on if you don’t bring them.

Leave a little extra time to get to the ramp. We encountered slower traffic due to nearby recycling center.

I’m so glad that I found Captain Larry, we had a great day and caught so many fish that my arms hurt from all the reeling I did. I highly recommend this Captain!

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.

It's a fun trip with good fishing. We were early in the season so it was slower than the last time we went, but we knew that was a factor.

June is typically a great month for stripers. However, the unseasonably cold spring led to slower fishing. Look for warmer weather for a better shot at Stripers.

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