Maine Fishing Trips: Freshwater Charters with Topwater Guide Service

Topwater Guide Service offers year-round freshwater fishing charters in Maine. Captain Dana Connon, a native of Maine, is eager to showcase the abundant fishing opportunities in the local rivers and lakes.

You will embark on an 18’ Stratos bass boat with a powerful 150 HP Johnson engine, enabling a remarkable maximum cruising speed of 48 knots. The boat is designed for the comfort of two anglers and is equipped with essential safety and navigation equipment.

Captain Dana specializes in Bass and Pike fishing, but he is open to targeting other game fish based on your preferences. Typically, fishing trips involve pursuing Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike using light tackle. During the winter months, ice fishing provides an exciting alternative.

The price of the trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as refreshments, snacks, and even lunch on full-day trips. A valid Maine fishing license is required, which can be conveniently obtained online. Remember to bring sunglasses and a camera to capture your adventure in Maine's bountiful waters.
