  • Maine's Fall Fishing Forecast: Stripers, Bluefish, and Mackerel Abound

    Maine's Fall Fishing Forecast: Stripers, Bluefish, and Mackerel Abound
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene along Maine's Atlantic coast is transitioning into its fall rhythm. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and the sunset will be at 4:34 PM. The tidal cycle shows a high tide at 8:33 AM and a low tide at 2:33 PM. Weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a pleasant day for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The striper migration is starting to wind down, but there are still plenty of schoolies and some larger bass to be caught. Schoolies are active during early morning shoreline topwater blitzes, while bigger fish are more active after dark. Bluefish are also present, although their action is sporadic and not as reliable.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw a mix of fish being caught. Striped bass, particularly schoolies, were abundant in areas like Long Beach off York and the mouth of rivers such as the Mousam, Kennebunk, and Saco. Some larger stripers were caught in the surf during evening tides using live eels. Mackerel are still plentiful and can be jigged up within a mile from Wells Harbor or around the Isles of Shoals.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, small white soft baits like Albie Snax, Al Gag’s Whip-it-Fish, and Hogy’s paddle tails are highly effective. Small spook style plugs are also working well. Live eels are a top choice for bigger bass, especially during evening tides. Mackerel remain the most reliable bait for both stripers and bluefin tuna.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Long Beach off York**: Known for consistent striper action, especially during early morning and evening tides.
    - **Mouth of the Mousam, Kennebunk, and Saco Rivers**: These areas are filled with herring fry, attracting stripers and other predatory fish.
    - **Wells Harbor**: A good spot to jig up mackerel and then free-line or troll them near islands or prominent ledges.
    - **Jeffreys Ledge**: While it's more challenging to find legal-sized haddock here, it's still a hotspot for mixed groundfish like pollock and cusk.

    Overall, the fall season is bringing some exciting fishing opportunities to Maine's coastal waters. With the right bait and lures, and by targeting the right spots, you can have a productive and enjoyable day on the water.

  • Maine's Atlantic Coast Fishing Forecast: Stripers, Tuna, and Fall Opportunities

    Maine's Atlantic Coast Fishing Forecast: Stripers, Tuna, and Fall Opportunities
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1st, the fishing scene along Maine's Atlantic coast is transitioning into its fall pattern, with some exciting opportunities for anglers.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. The winds will be moderate, coming in from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides are crucial, and today's high tide is at 9:34 AM, with the low tide at 3:17 PM.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The striped bass migration is winding down, but there are still plenty of schoolies and some larger bass to be found, especially during early morning shoreline topwater blitzes and after dark with live eels. Tuna fishing remains strong, particularly for those targeting bluefin tuna. Bluefish are also present, though their action is sporadic.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday saw some decent catches of striped bass, particularly around the lower Piscataqua River and off York Beach. Mackerel were still plentiful and effective as bait, especially when jigged at the Isles of Shoals or near Wells Harbor. Tuna were active, with reports of 60-inch fish caught on central Jeffrey's Ledge using unweighted mackerel on long fluorocarbon leaders.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, using live eels at night or mackerel during the day is highly effective. Small white soft baits like Albie Snax and small spook style plugs are also working well. For tuna, spike mackerel and unweighted mackerel on long fluorocarbon leaders are the way to go.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Lower Piscataqua River**: This area is still holding bass, and mackerel by day and eels at night are good bets.
    - **York Beach**: Long Beach off York has been reliable for bass, with peanut bunker and surface feeds apparent.
    - **Casco Bay Area**: The ledges here are holding big bass feeding on pogies and mackerel.
    - **Jeffrey's Ledge**: This spot remains strong for tuna and haddock, though you may need to move around to find legal-sized haddock.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water in Maine, with fewer crowds and some excellent fishing opportunities. Just be mindful of the brown weed and fluctuating water temperatures, and you'll be in for a good day of fishing.

  • Late Season Maine Fishing Bonanza - Pollock, Tuna, and More off the Atlantic Coast

    Late Season Maine Fishing Bonanza - Pollock, Tuna, and More off the Atlantic Coast
    Oct 31 2024
    As of October 31, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine is still vibrant despite the late season. Here’s what you can expect today:

    **Weather and Tides:**
    The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to low 60s. Winds are moderate, blowing at about 10-15 mph from the northwest. Tides are significant, with high tide expected around 8:30 AM and low tide at 2:30 PM. Sunrise is at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday's reports indicated robust fish activity, particularly for offshore species. Pollock, cod, haddock, and even some commercial-sized bluefin tuna were abundant. Bluefish and striped bass are also active, with the bass chasing mackerel off area beaches and in rivers like the Saco River and nearby Camp Ellis.

    **Catches:**
    Pollock dominated the catches, with several anglers landing fish in the 13-20 pound range. Other notable catches included cod, haddock, cusk, and mackerel. Blue sharks and dogfish were present but not as prevalent due to the dropping surface water temperature.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For bottom fishing, jigs and cod flies have been the most effective. When targeting bluefin tuna, using live groundfish like haddock or whiting 120-150 feet down has been successful. Live mackerel, fished unweighted and deep, have also been producing results for both tuna and other species.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Central Jeffrey's Ledge and The Flag are hot spots for big bluefin tuna and large pollock. For a mixed bag including pollock, haddock, and cod, Platt’s Ledge is a good choice. If you're looking for striped bass, try the areas around the mouth of the Piscataqua River and Boone Island where mackerel are plentiful.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water, with favorable conditions and a variety of fish to target. Just be prepared for some wind and choppy seas.
