What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're aboard the Reel Nice Surprise, our top-notch fishing vessel, with nothing but open water and endless possibilities ahead. We're talking about targeting some real beauties - stripers, bluefish, and sea-run brown trout. Our expert crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. The boat's comfy and well-equipped, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a sandwich or two (we don't provide meals, but feel free to pack a cooler).

Fishing Techniques & Hotspots

Alright, let's talk shop. Inshore fishing in Maine is all about variety. We might start the day trolling for stripers near rocky shorelines or casting lures for bluefish in the rips. If the sea-run browns are running, we'll hit up some of the local river mouths where they love to hang out. We use a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's biting. And don't worry if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes, from setting the drag to playing a big fish. Some days we're jigging, other days we're using topwater plugs. It's all part of the fun, and we'll adjust our tactics to give you the best shot at a "keeper."

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the big three you'll be after on this trip:

Striped Bass: These bad boys are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They can grow over 50 pounds, and boy, do they put up a fight! Stripers love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting rocky areas and drop-offs. They're most active from late spring through fall, with the biggest ones usually showing up in June and July. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a big striper hitting your lure!

Bluefish: If you want non-stop action, bluefish are your ticket. These toothy critters are like the pit bulls of the sea - all attitude and fight. They school up and can create feeding frenzies that'll get your heart racing. Blues typically show up in Maine waters from July to October. They're not picky eaters, which means more chances for you to hook up.

Sea-Run Brown Trout: Now here's a special treat. These fish start their lives in freshwater but head out to sea to grow big and strong. When they return to the rivers, they're sleek, powerful, and a real challenge to catch. We target them in the spring and fall when they're moving between salt and fresh water. Landing one of these beauties is like winning the fishing lottery - it doesn't happen every day, but when it does, it's magical.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

I'll tell you what keeps folks coming back year after year - it's the whole package. Sure, the fishing's great, but it's also about the experience. You're out here with your closest buddies or family, the salty air in your face, and the anticipation of what might be on the end of your line. One minute you're laughing about someone's backlash, the next you're all cheering as someone reels in a monster. And let's not forget the scenery - Maine's coastline is something special. You might spot seals, porpoises, or even the occasional whale. It's not just a fishing trip; it's a day you'll be talking about for years to come.

Time to Book Your Spot

Listen, if you're still on the fence, let me give you a nudge. This 6-hour trip is the sweet spot - enough time to really get into some fish, but not so long that you'll be wiped out. At $990 for up to 4 people, it's a great deal for a private charter where you've got the whole boat to yourselves. No fighting for rod space or sharing your hot spots with strangers. We provide all the gear, so all you need to do is show up ready for a good time.

Remember, the best days on the calendar fill up fast, especially during peak season. So if you're thinking about it, don't wait too long. Give us a call or hit that "Book Now" button. We'll get you set up and answer any questions you might have. Trust me, once you're out there feeling that first tug on your line, you'll be glad you didn't let this opportunity slip away.
