We operate our fishing TRIPS in the Mid-Coast region of Maine, from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay. This area features an astonishing 1000 miles of jagged, pristine coastline. We focus our efforts on the broad reach of the lower Kennebec river estuary & the outer boundaries of Casco Bay...with its countless thousands of acres of untouched saltwater flats, gnarly tides that rip over rocky structure and an intricate maze of backcountry channels, It's a fly & light tackle fishermans nirvana. On any given day we can be found fishing sandy beaches, ocean front ledges, coastal tide marshes or shallow hard bottom flats. Wherever the fish are!!! Whether it's on the fly...pitching plugs or live lining frisky live baits we've got you covered check out our website for all of our trip offerings...and stay tuned for some new trips options for 2019

Kennebec River Striper Fishing September 26th, 2009

Today I took part in a three boat guided trip with two other guides...We guided a group of anglers from Monteal, Quebec...Before the trip the three of us guides agreed to head in separate directions...I chose to hit one of my upriver spots for the last of the incoming...as we arrived on scene we were greeted by diving birds and swirling stripers...we connected with a nice 25 incher right away...a few more drifts and we had a 28 incher in the boat...the tide went slack and the bite turned off like someone flipped a switch...we worked our butts off for the next few hours but unfortunately the bite stayed dead. The men on the other two boats were not as fortunate as the ladies aboard with me...I guess girls have all the luck!!!

Kennebec River Fishing Report September 23, 2009

Den Kelly made the drive up from Sag Harbor, NY to fish with me for the second time in the last 10 days. As explained in my 9/15/09 report Den is fanatical about tagging stripers for the American Littoral Society...over Den's career he has tagged over 11,700 striped bass...including the 15-18 fish he tagged with me...Den has gotten over 600 return certificates from Bass that he's tagged from Maine to the Chesapeake and beyond...hopefully Den will return for the June migration next spring...

Kennebec River Striper Fishing Report September 20th, 2009

Today I had Chris Oliver fish with me again. We left the dock in Bath just before sunrise and ran a short distance down river....throwing soft plastic baits tight to the shoreline we were quickly on fish...for the rest of the outgoing tide we had a nice pick of fish to 27 inches...as the tide slacked the bite tapered off....as the tide started to pour back in we ran up river and boated several more chunky fish before heading for the dock to catch the start of the Patriots/Jets game...another great morning on the water. It's not time to put the rods away just yet...if you're looking for some fall run striped bass action please call us to set up your trip!!! 207-691-0745

Maine Saltwater Fishing Report September 16th, 2009

Dennis Hansen & Jan Leth fished with me today...the second time this week. A stiff NE wind greeted us as we left the dock at daybreak. It took us awhile but we finally managed to find some fish willing to eat. We also ran into a seal with a bad attitude....the seal managed to steal two of Jan's stripers after playing tug of war with us for awhile...kind of exciting for the guys aboard....but I've had several run-ins with this bandit seal...including an epic seal battle battle that Den Kelly fought yesterday....so my patience with mr. seal was wearing abit thin. Check out Dennis's striper pics and Jan's seal encounter
