Family Fishing Trip

Bring the kids on this saltwater fishing adventure

Climb aboard with North East Salt Water as we jig and troll our way across the granite ledges of Casco Bay targeting mackerel, pollock, cod (when in season), cunner and other elusive groundfish species. If the striper are around, we will spend some time targeting them too. If not, we will use some of our caught bait fish to haul up our lobster and crab traps to see if there are any 'keepahs' for you to take home!

Our 3 hour family fishing trips are available for up to 4 anglers of all skill levels, especially beginners and kids who want an introduction to saltwater fishing in Maine.


Guided family fishing trip:

  • Trip lasts 3 hours 
  • Suitable for ages 5+
  • No fishing experience needed!
  • All licenses and equipment included
  • 4 passengers |1000 lbs max
  • Bring your favorite drinks and snacks
