There is one boat downtown. It is a ripoff. Stay clear of it.

Fishing anywhere along coastal Maine is tough. I've been there a few times and didn't even bother.... You might be better of fishing the inland lakes.

Bar Harbor is a beautiful place though, enjoy. Lots on great scenery. Be sure and check out Caddilac Mountain and take the drive along the Acadia National Park loop.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe just go on a cruise with the family and hit a restaurant

Floating dock, owned by the town of Southwest Harbor, in Southwest Harbor. Same island (Mt. Desert Island) as Bar Harbor. Mackerel are sometimes available from the dock. Also a harbor seal, that is sort of the town pet, might provide entertainment. To the West, Rockport Harbor also has a town floating dock. Mackerel should arrive there this month.

Agreed. Stayed a week at Little Deer Island just south Acadia. Fished every day. I could see 20 feet down near shore and never even saw bait fish.

You get the idea that fishing up there really sucks, when you cant even find a bait shop near the water.

AWFUL!!! Worst fishing spot I've ever been to. Even grwoing up in ELizabeth in the 1960's the grossly polluted Arthur Kill had crabs and eels. Maine saltwater had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

I am still amazed how poor a pristine state like that sucked to fish in.

Hired a guide to fish for stripers in Boothbay Harbor a couple of years ago. Had a great time and caught maybe six or eight schoolies on a half day trip on light tackle with jigs and poppers. We also live lined mackeral but no takers.

Sweet Action Charters was the name. Nice guy and a very enjoyable trip.
