SALTY LEWER CAPTAIN
Capt. Bryan Lewer
Capt. Bryan Lewer wasn’t actually born holding a fishing rod, but he has had a rod virtually glued to his hand most of his life! Beginning as a child he had a wonder for the rich bountiful marine life found along the coasts of Maine and Florida. An avid angler, he is lured to the Atlantic in search of fish and to indulge his affinity for nature from the coast of Maine to Florida. Capt. Bryan has been mentored by some of the finest captains in Maine and has acquired extensive inshore and deep-sea fishing experience. His passion for fishing is contagious, making a charter on the Salty Lewer truly unforgettable.
Capt. Bryan has been a USCG licensed captain and Registered Maine tidewater fishing guide for more than 12 years. What he enjoys most about charter fishing is sharing his love of fishing with children and adults alike and sharing the exhilaration of hooking into a striper, and the rugged beauty of the waters off the coast of Ogunquit and southern Maine.
