Captain Aaron

With a lifetime of experience fishing Casco Bay from the Royal River to the Fore River and the Back Bay, Capt. Aaron Landry offers anglers a full tour of tributaries, flats and beaches, as well as the rocky shores of Cape Elizabeth and the many islands located off Portland. Anglers can expect a highly visual experience fishing in shallow water, often spotting the fish before casting. From years of angling in the waters of Casco Bay, Capt. Aaron has a deep knowledge of the striped bass population that migrates into the Gulf of Maine each year.

What to expect

Charters can start at any time, however, because Stripers are most active during low light conditions, we typically leave from Portland Harbor at 5:30 a.m. Midday charters are better for sight fishing, but the conditions are far more challenging. Alternative Southern Maine fishing locations can be explored. Capt. Aaron tailors the trip around anglers’ desires as well as weather, tide schedules, and migration status of fish. Charters will primarily focus on striped bass. Other species can be targeted upon request. Anglers are provided rods, reels, and tackle for all fishing situations. If anglers are interested, they may bring their own outfit and tackle.  The boat will be stocked with a cooler of ice, Gatorade, and water. Rates are for 2 to 3 anglers (licenses included). 25% deposit required to hold date.

Boat and Equipment

We fish out of a 17’ Aquasport. This is the perfect skiff for the shallow water fishing we specialize in. We fish Colton fly rods/reels and custom spinning rods with Diawa and Shimano reels. All flies are tied by Capt. Aaron.
