Committed to Personalized Acadia Fishing Tours

Meet your Guide

John “Sarge” Pepper

Owner and Lead Fishing Guide

I was born in Somesville, Maine in 1988 and grew up fishing the Acadia area. From a very young age, I was drawn to the sport and since then have devoted my life to fishing. I have fished all around the United States and the world, from Argentina, the Bahamas and Belize to New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania and Canada, to name a few.

My passion is to bring my love for fly fishing and ice fishing to visitors of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. Whether you are a seasoned fisherman or this is your first time, my goal is to create a personalized tour specific to your expectations. I specialize in small group or individual tours because I believe it is the best way to enjoy fishing. It also allows me to create a tailor-made experience for my clients. I look forward to sharing my favorite, local fishing spots, and I promise you a trip that you will remember for years to come.
