 ATLANTIC OCEAN MAINE FISHING REPORT
Friday, May 23, 2025

Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your local fishing report for the Atlantic waters of Maine. We're hitting that sweet spot in the season, folks, and I've got some wicked good news for ya.

Stripers are now in full swing along our coastline! What started as a trickle a week ago has turned into a proper run. The Saco, York, Webhannet, Mousam, and Kennebunk Rivers are all producing keeper-sized bass. These migratory fish have pushed all the way up to Casco Bay, and they're absolutely hammering the river herring. If you want to get in on this action, white is the color of choice when water's murky - AlbieSnax and 6-inch Slug-Gos are getting it done. For clearer water, switch to more natural hues. Fly anglers, don't forget your Clousers, and the tube-and-worm rig has been deadly in the Webhannet.

Groundfishing continues to be spectacular! The haddock bite from Outer Scantum to the Cove has been excellent, with good numbers and impressive size. Jeffrey's Ledge and Platts Bank remain top spots for consistent haddock action. With dogfish numbers still low, bait fishing is particularly effective right now. Remember those emergency fishing regulations that went into effect May 1st - make sure you're up on the latest possession limits, especially for Georges Bank cod which has some restrictions.

For you folks looking for something different, sea-run brown trout are hitting in the Kennebunk, Mousam, and Ogunquit Rivers. Ogunquit Beach has also been giving up some nice winter flounder for those willing to put in the time.

Hot spots for today: I'd hit Scarborough Marsh on the incoming tide or check out the "Graveyard" area where stripers have been crushing bait. For offshore action, Platts is the local favorite right now, with consistent keeper haddock coming over the rails.

Mackerel are starting to show on the offshore ledges, which means we might see some early bluefin tuna action in the coming weeks. Keep your heavy gear ready!

For those heading out today, tides are running strong with a midday high. Sunrise was at 5:12 AM and sunset will be at 8:17 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather looks decent with moderate winds from the southwest - just enough chop to keep the fish comfortable.

Remember, with every tide, the striper numbers are swelling exponentially, so get out there while the gettin's good! This weekend should be prime time, especially if you're working the herring runs.

That's the word from the water today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and we'll see ya on the water!
