I have lived in Maine all my life, and have been out on the water for over twenty y
ears. I was introduced to fishing through my grandfather who was a well known and highly regarded fisherman throughout New England. He had a widely known reputation for winning multiple fishing tournaments. I started fishing on the Kennebec River at the age of five, and caught my first thirty pound striped bass at the age of eight. My favorite way to fish is with top water lures, I love the excitement of enticing a fish to come to the surface to explode on an artificial bait. I have chased striped bass in every state in New England, and make annual trips to Martha’s Vineyard to fish the highly regarded Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby.
When I am not on the water, I serve the city of South Portland, Maine as a Firefighter & EMT. I am a monthly contributing writer for On The Water Magazine, and Points East Magazine. I have also been featured in Coastal Angler Magazine. I speak regularly at seminars for Saco Bay Tackle in the offseason as well.
Miss Sarah:
The Miss Sarah is a 16′ Maritime Skiff that offers extreme stability and fishability. She is designed for the fly and light tackle enthusiast and is set up to maximize efficiency and to minimize tangled lines. She is run via a tiller handle, and is equipped with Garmin electronics. We keep the Miss Sarah on a trailer which leaves us highly mobile and ready to go where ever the bite may be. She is suited for 2 anglers but can be fished with 3.
