As of October 18, 2024, the fishing scene in Maine's Atlantic waters is buzzing with activity. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day out on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is looking favorable with mild air temperatures and sunny skies. Expect a high of around 60°F and a gentle breeze. Tides are moderate, with the high tide at approximately 9:30 AM and low tide at 3:30 PM. These conditions should make for a comfortable and productive fishing day.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:37 PM, giving you ample daylight to explore the waters.
### Fish Activity
The fall migration is in full swing, and striped bass are actively feeding on mackerel and pogies along the coastline. Bluefish are also abundant, chasing the same bait schools. Tautog fishing is improving as water temperatures drop, with bigger fish being caught in shallow waters around jetty rocks and bridge pilings.
### Catch Reports
Yesterday saw a good number of striped bass caught, ranging from 20 inches to 40 pounds, particularly around the mouth of the Piscataqua River and along the beaches of Old Orchard, Ogunquit, and Biddeford Pool. Bluefish were also plentiful, with many caught off area beaches. Offshore, bottom fishing yielded a mixed bag of haddock, whiting, and pollock, with pollock being the most abundant.
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, trolling deep-diving plugs or using live mackerel and pogies is highly effective. Smaller profile lures like Mush Mouth or Mud Dog flies work well when the bass are focusing on smaller bait. For bluefish, peanut bunker and mullet are excellent choices. For tautog, crabs and jigs are the way to go.
### Hot Spots
- **Mouth of the Piscataqua River**: This area is particularly productive for striped bass, with schools of pogies and mackerel attracting the larger fish.
- **Old Orchard and Ogunquit Beaches**: These beaches are hot spots for both striped bass and bluefish, especially when they push bait schools close to shore.
- **Jeffreys Ledge**: For offshore bottom fishing, Jeffreys Ledge is a great spot to catch haddock, whiting, and pollock.
