Explore Pristine Maine Waters: Fishing Adventures with Captain Joe in Phippsburg, ME

North East Salt Water offers exciting fishing adventures out of Phippsburg, ME. Join Captain Joe from late spring through fall to explore the pristine waters of Maine.

Our half-day fishing trips are ideal for anglers aged 9+ who want to target various species, including the powerful stripers found around the rugged islands and rocky shorelines of Casco Bay. If you're fortunate enough to catch a striper within the legal slot size, Captain Joe will gladly fillet and package it for you to take home. Please note that we allow only 1 keeper per boat to ensure the preservation of healthy population levels.

We also offer 2-hour family fishing trips suitable for ages 5+. On this trip, we'll be jigging across the granite ledges of Casco Bay in search of mackerel, pollock, cod, cunner, and other elusive groundfish species. This family-friendly excursion is perfect for anglers of all skill levels, especially beginners. Please note that catch and release is mandatory for this trip.

Our 21' Maritime boat can accommodate up to 4 guests (1000lbs) who must be physically capable of standing while fishing and safely maneuvering around the skiff. We regret to inform you that we do not offer seated trolling trips. This boat is equipped with a brand new 115 HP Yamaha engine for a top speed of 30 knots. Not only will you reach your fishing spots quickly, but you'll also have more time to fish. The boat features navigational electronics, a wireless trolling engine, a live bait tank, and a cooler.

Captain Joe provides all the necessary fishing equipment and licenses, so all you need to bring are your drinks and snacks. If you have any special requests, feel free to reach out to us so we can ensure your adventure is well-prepared!
