Hey there, fellow angler! Ready for a day on the water you won't soon forget? Fin N' Juice Charters is serving up a full-day fishing adventure right off the coast of Old Orchard Beach, Maine. This isn't your average boat ride – we're talking about a proper day of fishing, sightseeing, and good old-fashioned Maine hospitality. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, Captain Owen's got you covered with all the gear and know-how you need to reel in some beauties.
Picture this: You and up to three of your buddies, cruising the Maine coastline, lines in the water, and the salty breeze in your hair. We're not just fishing here – we're on a mission to hook into some of Maine's finest: pollock, mackerel, haddock, and whatever else is biting. The best part? You don't need to fuss with gear. We've got all the rods, reels, and bait ready to go. Just bring your A-game and maybe a good joke or two for the captain.
Now, let's talk shop. We'll be using a mix of techniques, depending on what's working best that day. Might be some bottom fishing for those tasty groundfish, or maybe we'll troll for mackerel if they're running. Captain Owen knows these waters like the back of his hand, so trust me, you're in good hands. He'll show you the ropes if you're new, or swap fish tales if you've been around the block. And don't worry about going hungry – we've got snacks and drinks on board to keep you fueled up for the big catches.
Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing these waters. It's not just about what ends up on the end of your line – it's the whole package. The way the sun hits the water just right in the morning. That moment when you feel the first tug on your line. The stories and laughs shared over a cold drink. And yeah, the fish – they're pretty darn good too. Plus, Captain Owen's always snapping photos, so you'll have proof of that monster you landed (or the one that got away).
Alright, let's talk targets. First up, the striped bass. These bad boys are the rockstars of inshore fishing. They put up a hell of a fight and can grow to impressive sizes. Best time to catch 'em? Late spring through early fall. When you hook one, you'll know – they hit hard and run fast.
Next, we've got the great pompano. Now, these might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but what they lack in size, they make up for in taste. They're quick, they're crafty, and they're a blast to catch on light tackle. Look for them in the warmer months, especially around sandy bottoms.
Atlantic mackerel – these are the speedsters of the bunch. They school up in big numbers and when you find them, it's non-stop action. They're great eating and even better bait if you're looking to hook something bigger. Peak season is usually summer, but we can find them in spring and fall too.
Last but not least, pollock. These cousins of the cod are hard-fighting and great-eating fish. They like cooler waters, so we target them more in the spring and fall. When you're reeling one in from the depths, you'll feel like you're battling a submarine.
Look, I could go on all day about the fishing, the views, and the good times, but the truth is, you've gotta experience it for yourself. This full-day trip is the real deal – our most popular package for a reason. You get the full Maine fishing experience, from sunrise to sunset (well, almost). Just remember, spots fill up fast, especially in peak season. And that deposit? It's non-refundable, so when you book, be ready to commit to a day of awesome.
So what do you say? Ready to join Captain Owen and the Fin N' Juice crew for a day on the water you'll be talking about for years to come? Grab your spot now, and let's make some waves – and memories – together. Trust me, your future self will thank you. See you on the boat!
Atlantic mackerel are a blast to catch and a staple on our charters. These streamlined fish average 1-2 pounds and swim in huge schools near the surface. Look for them in coastal waters from spring through fall, often chasing bait balls. Mackerel are lightning-fast and hit lures hard, making for non-stop action when you find a school. Kids especially love reeling them in. While not known as big fighters, their sheer numbers make for exciting fishing. They're also excellent eating, with rich, oily flesh perfect for grilling or smoking. To target mackerel, try casting small shiny lures or jigs and retrieving quickly. A local trick: if you see birds diving, there's a good chance mackerel are feeding below. These fish are a great warm-up species before moving on to larger game.

Great pompano are sleek, powerful fish that put up an impressive fight for their size. They typically run 1-2 pounds but can reach up to 8. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, often right in the surf zone. Pompano love sandy bottom areas where they hunt for small crustaceans. Summer and early fall are prime seasons as the water warms up. Anglers enjoy targeting them for their speed and acrobatic leaps when hooked. Their light, sweet meat is also highly prized. To up your odds, use small jigs tipped with shrimp or sand fleas. Fish the moving water as the tide changes, working your lure with short, sharp jerks along the bottom. A local tip: watch for pompano "skipping" across the surface - that's a sure sign they're in the area and feeding.

Pollock are hard-fighting fish that'll give you a real workout. Adults typically run 10-20 pounds but can reach over 40. You'll find them near rocky bottoms and ledges in 100-400 feet of water. They're most active in cooler months, especially spring and fall. Anglers love pollock for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Their white, flaky meat is versatile in the kitchen too. To target them, try jigging with diamond jigs or swimming lures near the bottom. Early morning and evening are often best. A local tip: look for areas where strong currents hit structure - pollock love to ambush prey in these spots. When you hook one, be ready for a battle. These fish have serious strength and endurance, so make sure your drag is set right.

Striped bass are a prized catch in Maine waters, known for their size and fight. These fish typically range from 20-40 pounds but can grow much larger. You'll find them near structures like rocky shorelines, jetties, and drop-offs. They're most active in spring and fall during their coastal migrations. Stripers put up an exciting battle on the line, making them a favorite among anglers. Their firm, white meat is also excellent for the dinner table. To boost your chances, try fishing with live bait like mackerel or herring during low light conditions at dawn or dusk. One local trick: look for diving birds - they often signal schools of baitfish that stripers are feeding on below. Patience and persistence pay off when targeting these smart, wary fish.
