Living about 3.5 hours away, we messaged Ernie a few months prior and he got us in for a fall trip. Easy booking, great communication. He took us to a hot spot where we caught tons of fish and we were blown away by his set up. Beautiful boat and gear, great fun, great personality and made us memories we won't ever forget. We 100% recommend his services, well worth the money and the travels.
Went out with my son and father in law for a birthday trip and what a blast it was! Ernie is an absolute legend. Friendly, hilarious, super knowledgeable and most important found where those fish were hanging out! Can't wait to go out again. Caught an unbelievable amount of stripers. Like, literally no one believes me but I was there! Thanks again!
Amazing day on the water with Ernie! Lots of big fish were caught. Exciting when fish were biting so often. I'm grateful for the experience Ernie has on the boat and equally grateful and appreciative he was putting the bait on the hook... cannot wait to go out again. Thank you! The day was perfect. I beat my personal record with the 84cm!

Everything you need for a great day on the water - just bring lunch, layers, sunscreen, and a cooler.
Spring stripers push into the Miramichi ahead of spawning - aggressive, schooling, and concentrated in predictable spots.
Cooling water triggers aggressive pre-migration feeding. Fall foliage and the biggest fish of the year.
Most northeast US anglers are a single driving day from the Miramichi. No flights, no complicated logistics - just a road trip up through Maine to world-class striper fishing.
No fishing license required for striped bass in tidal waters.
