Took a nice trip out to the lighthouse and the dropped poles into the water to catch Mackerel! After we had some bait in the boat we headed over to House island to try and catch Striper, we got a couple bumps but nothing on the line, but had a good time trying with a nice cool breeze.

We stowed the fishing gear and suited up to handle the lobster traps, checked a couple and came away with a keeper lobster. Great teaching moment on how Maine manages the lobster population.

We headed back in to the dock to band the lobster claws and then called it a good day with Capt. John

  I'm biased, for sure, but 3 girls aged 6, 7, & 9 and 2 adults had a great time with Capt. John and his daughter/ 1st mate, Carmen, on Casco... read more Bay recently. Capt. John was my high school teacher, and to see him do his thing during our 2+ hour cruise brought back some fantastic memories!

The girls got to fish for mackerel and pollock, haul lobster traps, band the lobsters, see seals, and "drive" the boat.

Anyone who is looking to get their kids out on the water and have an interactive/ informative guide- this tour is for you! Give Capt. John a call and get out there on Catnip!
