Mad Quackers Guide Service, led by seasoned outdoorsman Joe Rego, offers unforgettable fishing and hunting experiences across Maine’s wild landscapes and pristine waters. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, Joe’s guided trips are all about real-time fun, honest adventure, and deep local knowledge. With a passion rooted in years of navigating Maine’s best fly fishing rivers and rugged forests, Joe has built a reputation for making clients feel right at home in the great outdoors.

From casting a fly in crystal-clear mountain streams to trolling for striped bass along the coast, Joe tailors each trip to your goals and skill level. Preferred techniques include fly fishing, live bait fishing, and trolling—perfect for chasing down popular local species like striped bass and sea bass. You won’t be guessing where the fish are—Joe knows. And with three well-maintained boats, you’re always set for a smooth, comfortable day on the water.

Speaking of boats, Joe’s fleet is fully equipped to handle a variety of conditions and group sizes. The Punkys Comet II, a 26-foot aluminum beauty built by Patriot Marine, cruises comfortably at 35 knots and holds up to six guests. The original Punkys Comet, also 26 feet, features a fiberglass hull and glides at 30 knots—solid and steady, ideal for coastal trips. For smaller groups, Punkys Comet III, a sleek 24-footer from Carolina Skip, offers a nimble ride with the same reliable 225 Yamaha engine. All boats were recently restored in 2023, ensuring modern performance with old-school dependability.

Mad Quackers isn’t just about fishing, though. Joe also guides affordable and fully outfitted hunting trips for turkey, black bear, and snowshoe hare. Whether you’re stalking big game or tracking through the snowy woods, every outing is personalized, safe, and built around your pace. Plus, you don’t need to worry about securing a hunting license—Joe has that covered for all his guests. Just show up ready to enjoy, and maybe bring a sandwich (and no more than two beers per person—Joe keeps it responsible and fun).

If you’re looking for an easygoing, professional guide who truly knows Maine’s waters and woods, Mad Quackers Guide Service delivers. With flexible trip options, well-kept gear, and a no-pressure atmosphere, Joe Rego offers something rare—honest, high-quality outdoor experiences that don’t break the bank. Come ready to catch fish, spot game, and make memories that last longer than your bait.
