The Boat

Sebago Sport Fishing runs a modern 24′ Weldcraft Revolution all welded aluminum boat made in Washington to handle the rugged seas of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, they are also very popular charter boats on the Great Lakes for their ability to handle rough water comfortably and safely. It is set up specifically for trolling in the bigger lakes and is kept in a beautiful slip on Sebago Lake. She has a full cabin with a heater to make it a 4-season fishing machine provided we have open water. It has a 200 HP Yamaha main engine and 9.9 Yamaha kicker motor with an integrated autopilot so I don’t have to be at the helm driving the boat, I can be in the cockpit full time setting out gear and interacting with clients.

She has been outfitted with the most modern sonar and GPS technology as well as radar and VHF radio for safety at night and in bad weather situations. I am limited by total weight and can take up to 5 adults and a child or a combination of kids and adults up to 6 on the “Wickid Fishy”. There is a head in the cabin to make things a little more convenient when the fish are biting and you gotta go, it’s not the most private facility but we make it work.

No fish is safe with the arsenal of fishing gear on board, I pride myself on using a wide variety of techniques and gear and while I never guarantee a box full of fish I have learned that the key to success is setting myself up to be successful, with mast mounted planer boards, the ability to run 4 down riggers, divers and many types of weighted line I can maximize the opportunities for a strike with as many lines as we can legally have out. I’ve also been known to invent techniques when the fishing is slow, but none of this is any good if it isn’t maintained or doesn’t work properly, I keep the boat in immaculate condition and put a lot of time into keeping all of my hear int eh best condition possible, all the way down to leaders and terminal tackle, there isn’t anything more frustrating than losing a fish, possibly the fish of a lifetime, because a knot came untied, a nicked leader broke or a bent hook.
