  • Fishing the Atlantic Off Maine: Cod, Haddock, and Tidal Trends in 2025

    Fishing the Atlantic Off Maine: Cod, Haddock, and Tidal Trends in 2025
    Feb 8 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene in and around the Atlantic Ocean off Maine, as of today, February 8, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather and the timing. Today, sunrise is at 6:42 AM, and sunset is at 4:52 PM. These transitional periods are crucial for fishing, as many fish are more active during these times. The cold weather has been quite brisk, but don't let that deter you; species like cod and haddock are still active and worth targeting.

    For those planning their day around the tides, here's what you need to know. In Bar Harbor, today's high tides are at 6:51 AM and 7:39 PM, with water levels reaching 10.98 and 9.57 feet respectively. The low tides are at 12:34 AM and 1:26 PM, with water levels at 1.28 and 0.15 feet. These tidal changes can bring fish into more accessible areas, especially around the coast where the water drops off into deeper zones.

    Despite the cold, recent catches have been decent, particularly in areas like the western Gulf of Maine. Cod and haddock are the main targets here, but remember that their numbers are regulated. For the 2025 season, the recreational total quota for cod is set at 99 metric tons, and for haddock, it's 1,075 metric tons. So, be mindful of your catch limits to avoid exceeding these quotas.

    When it comes to lures and bait, you'll want to use what works best for deep-sea fishing. Jigs tipped with clams or mackerel are often very effective for cod and haddock. If you prefer artificial lures, metal jigs or soft plastic lures that mimic baitfish can also work well. For surf fishing, artificial lures such as spoons, plugs, and soft plastics are productive, especially during the changing tides.

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. If you're looking to brave the cold for some cod and haddock, the western Gulf of Maine is a good place to start. Areas around the coast, particularly where the water drops off into deeper zones, tend to hold these fish. Another spot worth considering is the waters off Bar Harbor, where the tidal changes can bring fish into more accessible areas.

    Recently, there have been some impressive catches. For instance, a 9-pound Maine state trophy haddock was caught in the area, which is a great indicator of the quality of fish you can find here.

    In summary, today's fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine looks promising, especially if you're after cod and haddock. Be sure to check the tide times, respect the catch limits, and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful catch. Stay warm and tight lines

    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene in and around the Atlantic Ocean in Maine, specifically for today, February 7th, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. We're still in the grip of a cold snap that's been making things challenging for those venturing out into the ocean. However, for the hardy souls who brave the sea, the conditions can be rewarding.

    ### Tidal Report
    For those fishing in coastal areas like Fort Popham on the Kennebec River or Old Orchard Beach, here are the tide times for today:
    - At Old Orchard Beach, the high tide is at 6:02 AM at 9.31 feet, followed by a low tide at 12:32 PM at 0.18 feet. The second high tide is at 6:57 PM at 7.87 feet[2].
    - Sunrise today is at 6:50 AM, and sunset is at 5:01 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, as many fish are more active during these transitional periods.

    ### Fish Activity
    The cold weather has pushed many fish to deeper waters, but species like cod and haddock are still active. For the 2025 season, the recreational total quota for cod is set at 99 metric tons, and for haddock, it's 1,075 metric tons. This means anglers need to be mindful of their catch limits to avoid exceeding these quotas[1].

    ### Recent Catches
    Recently, there have been reports of decent catches of cod and haddock, particularly in areas like the western Gulf of Maine. While the fish are not as abundant as they once were, the fishing regulations are in place to protect these populations.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For deep-sea fishing in these waters, using the right lures and bait is crucial. For cod and haddock, jigs tipped with clams or mackerel are often very effective. If you're using artificial lures, metal jigs or soft plastic lures that mimic baitfish can also work well. For those who prefer surf fishing, artificial lures such as spoons, plugs, and soft plastics can be very productive, especially during the changing tides[1].

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the areas around Fort Popham on the Kennebec River. This location is known for its tidal changes, which can significantly impact your fishing, especially if you're targeting species sensitive to these changes. Another good spot is the western Gulf of Maine, where recent catches of cod and haddock have been reported.

    In summary, while the cold weather presents some challenges, the rewards are there for those willing to brave the conditions. Be sure to check the tide times, plan your trip around sunrise and sunset, and use the right lures and bait to increase your chances of a successful catch. Stay warm and tight lines
