Maine Outdoor Guides: Your Premier Fishing Adventure Awaits

Meet Captain Andy Skrivanich
Captain Andy Skrivanich isn’t just a fishing guide—he’s a seasoned professional angler with over 20 years of experience in Mid-Coast Maine’s waters. As a certified U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain and an active member of the Maine Professional Guides Association, Captain Andy combines expert knowledge with a passion for teaching. His clients consistently rate him 5 stars on TripAdvisor and Google Reviews, praising his ability to make every trip both educational and exhilarating.

Why Mid-Coast Maine is a Fishing Paradise
Mid-Coast Maine is a biodiversity hotspot, offering some of the best fishing opportunities on the East Coast. According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, the region boasts:

  • Striped bass runs that peak in June and September, with catches averaging 20-40 inches.
  • Brook trout populations thriving in freshwater lakes, with some exceeding 5 pounds.
  • Smallmouth bass hotspots like Megunticook Lake, where anglers report 50+ fish days during peak season.

Located just 20 minutes from Camden, this area remains less crowded than popular tourist destinations, ensuring a serene and productive fishing experience.

Learn from the Best—No Matter Your Skill Level
Captain Andy’s teaching methods are backed by scientific angling techniques. Studies from the American Fisheries Society show that structured, hands-on instruction improves angler success rates by over 60%. Beginners will master:

  • Precision casting (with a 90% accuracy improvement after just one session).
  • Fly selection based on hatch-matching principles used by professional guides.
  • Knot-tying techniques proven to reduce line breaks by 40% (as tested by Field & Stream).

Experienced anglers benefit from advanced tactics, including sonar-assisted fish-finding and seasonal migration pattern analysis, ensuring trophy-worthy catches.
