Thank you for your interest in the Maine Outdoors and Shannon Guide Service. At Shannon Guide Service we are committed to providing professional guide service, assuring that your experience will be a pleasant one, filled with fond memories.

Your guide Bob Tiner is a lifelong native of Maine and has held a master license for over 40 years. Bob's wife Meriese assists him in the logistical aspect of their fishing guide service.

We are located 30 miles North of Portland and 30 miles South of Augusta, placing us in the prime fishing area in Central Maine. There are no less than 20 lakes and ponds within this area that provide excellent fishing.

From January to March, ice fishing provides a wide variety of choices as to which type of fishing you prefer, including lake trout, salmon, brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, splake, bass, white perch, yellow perch, rainbow smelt, pickerel, pike, black crappie, and sea smelts.

From April to September, open water fishing offers action for most of the above listed fish except for smelts. The prime fishing time for salmon and trout is Spring and early Summer. Lake trout are active throughout the year. Coastal fishing for striped bass is also available from July through September.
