“When in a new place fishing new waters, you want someone not only confident about fishing, but one even more passionate about it. Stephen is that to a T. You want to catch fish and have fun doing so? He’s your guy!”- Zach

“Capt. Hand was a terrific guide out on the sea. I didn't have much knowledge of coastal fishing before this trip however, he was able to have me hauling in my first giant striper (33”) within an hour of setting off. Super chill guide, fun stories, and easy fishing can’t ask for more than that.” — Cam

“The trip was incredible. Stephen was personable and made the whole experience super fun. He is very knowledgeable about the best fishing spots and techniques, and catered to my skill level. I was able to catch some truly impressive fish and the excitement and adrenaline rush I felt was unforgettable.” - Ellie

“I’ve booked with Stephen twice now, and both times he’s delivered! The first trip was a bass trip around Megunticook. Along with catching quite a few fish, Stephen was attentive and taught me a few techniques to better fish that area. The next was a Striped Bass trip out of Rockport Harbor. It was my first time catching a Striper, and what a rush! I will definitely be booking with Stephen again.” — Austin

“Stephen is an excellent guide, he is personable, friendly, and a really good source of information about striper fishing. I’ve already hired him for a future trip and don’t think that the 38 inch, approximately 30 pound striped bass influenced my review at all.” - Dan

“Spending my summers in coastal Maine, It was my first time striper fishing. Stephen’s guidance was clear and when I hooked my first one it was a rush. They are a fun fight reeling in for photos. I got a keeper and one to release. Stephen will enjoy the trip as much as you will.” — Amy

“Perfect day on the water topped off with an excellent guide! Couldn’t have asked for better conditions, would recommend to anyone who is looking to catch fish and gain some local knowledge from an experienced and well rounded guide” — Elliot
