Casco Bay Fishing Charters

Striped bass around the islands, ledges and shorelines of Portland’s bay.

Portland’s home water

Casco Bay is a maze of islands, ledges and rocky shorelines right off Portland, and some of the best striper water in New England.

Captain Bryan fishes the bay’s structure, rips and flats, following bait and tide from the harbor out to the islands. It’s classic Maine scenery, with seals, porpoises and eagles along the way.

What we fish for

Striped bass are the target, from early-season schoolies to big fall fish. Kids trips add mackerel, pollock and cunner.
