ConservationI live on the Penobscot River and am fortunate to have a world-class smallmouth bass fishery right at my door step. The 50-mile main stem section of the river, along with it’s three major tributaries, offers a near endless variety of angling options. I fish the entire Penobscot watershed between Medway and Bangor, and sometimes catch more than 50 hard-fighting river bronze backs per trip. This is a beautiful area where we see bald eagles and osprey nearly every day.
Smallmouth bass floats are my most popular guided trip because these fish are generally fairly easy to catch, and lend themselves well to both spin-fishermen, fly-fishermen, and families with children. Non-fishing spouses and companions also have a great time enjoying the scenery and wildlife.
Most of my bass fishing trips are run from a comfortable Hyde drift boat that has padded, swivel-seats and knee braces. We usually spend most of our time fishing from the boat, but there are many shallow, braided sections of the river where we can also get out and wade.
Full day float trips cost $550 for two anglers and include a shore lunch. Half-day trips last 4 hours and cost $350. And for people coming from Bar Harbor or other places on the mid-coast, we also offer a 5 hour trip for $450 that allows you to get back for dinner and not have to get up super early. We provide the fishing rods and gear on all of our trips. And groups of 3 or more can usually be accommodated.
If you need lodging or a dinner suggestion in my fishing zone, I’d be happy to make some recommendations.
