  • Maine Fishing Report: Stripers on the Move, Haddock Biting Hot Offshore

    Maine Fishing Report: Stripers on the Move, Haddock Biting Hot Offshore
    May 21 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your daily Atlantic Ocean, Maine fishing report for Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Sunrise this morning was at 5:08 AM with sunset coming at 8:11 PM, giving you a long day to chase what’s biting up and down the coast.

    Weatherwise, we’re looking at a classic Maine spring day—a cool start in the mid-40s but warming up into the 60s under mostly sunny skies and a light onshore breeze, perfect for both shore and boat anglers. Tides today show a high around 9:30 AM and another low just after 3:30 PM, so plan to work those changing currents for your best action.

    Striped bass are making their push into Maine right now, with steady reports of schoolies and even a few slot-plus fish showing up in the Saco and Webhannet Rivers. They’re following the spring herring and shad runs, so tossing bigger baits like soft plastics, swim shads, or a tube-and-worm rig is your best bet. Early risers are getting the action, especially around first light. For those wading or tossing from shore, white or bunker-pattern lures are producing well, and if you’ve got live herring, that’s the ticket for a shot at a big one. The Saco River mouth and around Biddeford Pool have been especially productive for stripers this week[2].

    Groundfishing for haddock, cod, and redfish offshore is staying hot. Jeffrey’s Ledge and Platt’s Bank are the go-to spots for solid haddock hauls, with anglers filling coolers using clams, squid, and cut mackerel. With relatively few pesky dogfish around right now, bait fishing is easy and productive. Cod and cusk are being hit on the rockier parts of these ledges. Closer in, some reports of haddock are coming from Tantas as well for those not wanting to make the longer run[2][1].

    River herring and alewives are still surging up the rivers, so don’t ignore the estuaries—stripers and the odd schoolie bluefish will be hot on their tails. Mackerel haven’t arrived en masse, but keep your Sabiki rigs ready as they’ll be inshore any day now[1].

    For hot spots today, focus on:
    Saco River mouth—striped bass on the move, especially at first light
    Jeffrey’s Ledge—reliable haddock bite and occasional cod
    Biddeford Pool—mix of schoolie stripers and a few keepers chasing herring

    Best lures right now are white paddle tails, bucktail jigs, and nine-inch tube baits in bloodworm red or bubblegum. For bait, fresh clams, mackerel strips, and live herring are top choices. Remember, fish slow and steady—the cool waters mean the fish are a bit sluggish until things warm up later in the day[2][1].

    That’s your report for today from Artificial Lure. Tight lines and see you on the water!

  • Maine Fishing Report: Stripers, Haddock, and More on the Atlantic Coast

    Maine Fishing Report: Stripers, Haddock, and More on the Atlantic Coast
    May 19 2025
    Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Atlantic Ocean, Maine fishing report for Monday, May 19, 2025.

    The warming trend continues today with temperatures expected to reach the mid-60s along the coast. We've got light easterly winds at 5-10 knots creating gentle swells, perfect for getting out on the water. Sunrise was at 5:08 AM and sunset will be at 8:12 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to wet your lines.

    Tides are running strong today with high tide at 9:45 AM and low tide at 3:30 PM. That incoming morning tide should create excellent conditions for striped bass fishing, which has really picked up over the past week. These seven-striped beauties have moved in right on schedule following the mackerel and river herring runs we've been seeing since early May.

    Speaking of striper action, the mouth of the Kennebec River and Casco Bay have been particularly hot spots. Anglers are reporting consistent catches using swimming plugs, soft plastics, and good old-fashioned chunk mackerel. If you're heading out today, don't forget those white or chartreuse soft baits – they've been absolutely killing it in the morning hours.

    Groundfishing remains excellent with haddock being the star of the show. Jeffrey's Ledge, particularly around Central Cove and The Prong, continues to produce limits for many boats. Soft-bottom areas are yielding more haddock while the rockier spots are giving up decent numbers of cod, cusk and redfish. Clams and squid strips on circle hooks have been the ticket.

    For you freshwater folks, the salmon bite on Sebago and Ossipee lakes continues to be strong, especially during early mornings. Smallmouth bass are still shallow and aggressive – try those jerk baits and swim baits that mimic the local baitfish.

    Water levels in the rivers remain slightly higher than normal for mid-May, so use caution if you're wading. The Aroostook River and Meduxnekeag River have been producing well for trout anglers using slower presentations in the backwater areas.

    For today's hot spots, I'd recommend hitting the Sheepscot River mouth for stripers – several locals reported 30+ inch fish there yesterday. For groundfish, head about 12 miles southeast of Portland to the humps – the charter captains have been limiting out on haddock there consistently.

    Remember folks, with the new emergency measures in effect since May 1st, there's no possession of Georges Bank cod for both commercial common pool and recreational vessels.

    That's all for today's report. Tight lines and see you on the water!

  • "Striped Bass Migration Peaks, Groundfish Bite Stays Strong in Coastal Maine"

    "Striped Bass Migration Peaks, Groundfish Bite Stays Strong in Coastal Maine"
    May 18 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Maine Atlantic fishing report for Sunday, May 18th, 2025.

    After a classic, foggy May morning, things settled into a mild spring day—right around 60 degrees along the coast. Sunrise was just before 5:10 am, and sunset will come at 8:03 pm. Winds stayed light and variable, which made for comfortable conditions on both inshore waters and offshore runs.

    Today’s big story is the striped bass migration. Schoolies are showing all around the lower rivers and estuaries, with some 30 to 40-inch fish moving in on the incoming tide. The best striper bite has been right around the herring runs and rocky points—places like the mouth of the Saco River and the Kennebunk marsh edges are lighting up. If you’re running out of Portland, the Presumpscot River mouth is holding fish too. Early morning and dusk have been the best shot at quality bass, especially while the herring and mackerel are schooled up close to shore[1][2].

    For lures, folks are having luck with soft plastic paddle tails in natural colors, swimming plugs, and classic bucktail jigs on the outgoing tide. Live or fresh chunk mackerel and menhaden are drawing bigger fish, especially off sandy bars and deeper points. Fly anglers are connecting with olive and white deceivers on floating lines—smaller schoolies are chasing almost anything that moves right now[1][2].

    Groundfishing is strong along Jeffrey’s Ledge and the nearshore humps, where haddock and pollock are filling coolers. Anglers bouncing diamond jigs or clam-baited rigs are reporting great numbers. If you’re looking for something different, the black sea bass and flounder bite is just kicking into gear around rocky patches and sandy bays[1].

    The bluefish run is also underway in the back bays. Expect toothy choppers to turn up around bait balls—metal spoons and topwater spooks are drawing some explosive strikes[1].

    On the commercial side, the northern Gulf of Maine scallop fishery remains open, with landings setting a brisk pace since reopening in April. Regulations are still in place, so be sure to check daily limits if you’re harvesting[3].

    For hot spots, try the Saco River mouth, Biddeford Pool, and the rocky outflow near Fort Williams. Offshore, head for Jeffrey’s Ledge if you want to fill a bucket with haddock.

    That’s the scoop from the shore and the boat this week. Tight lines, and I’ll see you on the water.
