We target Maine's trifecta of most common inshore species which include Striped Bass, Bluefish and Atlantic Mackerel.
Striped Bass or Stripers as we call them, tend to be the main focus of our fishing efforts. Our area of operation produces some of the best Striper fishing in the state, including both numbers and size of fish caught. We use a wide variety of methods to bring them aboard including live bait, dead bait and artificial lures. Typically we will catch Atlantic Mackerel and use them as live bait, which is a proven method in catching BIG Stripers!
Bluefish are an extremely hard fighting fish. When conditions and fishable numbers cooperate they can add a lot of action to a day of fishing, usually resulting in high catch numbers and sore arms! We catch them using many of the same methods used to catch Stripers.
They run in concentrated schools and are usually caught in great numbers making them a favorite among youth anglers.
In addition to fishing, we also offer a great tour of Saco Bay. Here you will see Maine's beautiful coastline from an on the water perspective. Expect to view seals, porpoise, whales, mola mola, sea birds and more! See how Maine lobsters are harvested with a trap hauling demonstration and be amazed at all of the cool sea creatures that are in the traps! You will bring home a great experience as well as the lobsters we catch!
