  • Stripers, Haddock, and Trout: Fishing Report from the Maine Coast

    Stripers, Haddock, and Trout: Fishing Report from the Maine Coast
    May 25 2025
    This is Artificial Lure reporting in from the Atlantic coast of Maine with your fishing report for Sunday, May 25, 2025.

    Sunrise this morning was around 5:10 am, and sunset will be about 8:10 pm, giving anglers a long day to work the water. High tide in the Portland area came just after midnight and again around 12:45 pm, with falling tides through the morning and a rising tide after lunch. The water temperatures have been slowly creeping up, inviting our favorite migratory species into the mix.

    Striped bass action is heating up all along the southern Maine coast. There’s a good push of fresh stripers moving into rivers like the Saco, Webhannet, Kennebunk, and Mousam. Schoolies are common, but a few slot fish are already being reported, especially in the Saco and Webhannet where river herring are running thick. Early risers throwing white or natural-hued soft plastics like AlbieSnax and 6-inch Slug-Gos have been rewarded, particularly around Scarborough Marsh, Higgins Beach, and the “Graveyard.” Bloodworms have been a solid bet from shore, and tube-and-worm rigs are taking fish in the rivers.

    Groundfishing offshore is as good as it gets for late May. Haddock numbers are excellent from Outer Schoodic down to the Cove, and some large fish are mixed in with steady numbers. Jeffrey’s Ledge and Platt’s Bank are hot right now for haddock and redfish. Bait is working best—think fresh clams or squid strips—since dogfish aren’t thick yet. If you’re trying for something bigger, mackerel are moving onto the offshore ledges, which could attract early bluefin tuna in the coming weeks.

    The York River and Ogunquit Beach are giving up good catches of sea-run brown trout, while winter flounder are still an option for those fishing sandier stretches like Ogunquit. For fly anglers, Clouser minnows in white or olive remain the ticket for early season bass.

    Today’s hot spots to check out: Hit the Saco River mouth on the dropping tide for stripers pushing bait. Offshore, Platt’s Bank is a solid choice for a box of haddock and redfish—just bring enough bait. For shore folks, try Higgins Beach at first light or the Kennebunk River on the incoming tide.

    Best lures today are white soft plastics and tube-and-worm rigs for stripers, and traditional bait rigs for haddock and redfish. For bait, bloodworms and cut herring are drawing the most strikes inshore, with squid strips offshore.

    That’s the scoop from the local docks. Tight lines and see you on the water.

  • Maine Fishing Report: Stripers, Groundfish, and Freshwater Action Heating Up

    Maine Fishing Report: Stripers, Groundfish, and Freshwater Action Heating Up
    May 24 2025
    Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Maine fishing report for this fine Saturday morning, May 24th, 2025.

    The stripers have finally started making their way across the Massachusetts border and are trickling into our southern Maine waters. Not a full run yet, but enough to get excited about. If you're looking to hook into some bass, now's the time to start paying attention.

    Offshore, the groundfishing remains excellent around Jeffrey's Ledge and Platt's Bank. Recent reports show a steady pick of haddock, with some boats landing impressive numbers. One charter last week reported a haul including seventy-one cusk, a halibut, six redfish, and even a 5-pound pollock. That's a cooler-filler day right there!

    Speaking of halibut, remember the season opened on May 18th and runs through June 13th. But keep in mind there's no fishing for halibut on Wednesdays or Thursdays in Maine territorial waters, and you need to tag them immediately. Don't forget your Saltwater Recreational Fishing Registry if you're heading out.

    In freshwater, the smallmouth action has been heating up with the fish moving into the shallows. They've been hitting jerk baits and swim baits aggressively. Over at Sebago and Ossipee, salmon fishing remains strong, while Winnipesaukee has been producing both salmon and lakers.

    For you largemouth enthusiasts, the season's officially kicking off with the warmer temperatures. Big lures are working well in the lakes across the state.

    Hot spots this weekend? I'd recommend trying the rivers throughout Great Bay where river herring have been surging. For groundfish, Southern Jeffrey's Ledge has been consistently productive. If you're sticking to freshwater, the Merrimack and Nashua Rivers have been giving up some nice pike, bass, and panfish.

    Bait-wise, fresh mackerel or herring chunks are working great for groundfish. For stripers, try fresh chunks or live mackerel if you can get them. Artificials like white or chartreuse bucktails with soft plastic trailers are starting to produce as well.

    With Memorial Day right around the corner, the 2025 fishing season is really hitting its stride. Today's weather looks favorable with moderate winds, making it a good day to get out on the water.

    Remember to check your tide charts before heading out. High tide's coming in mid-morning with a decent exchange that should get the fish moving.

    That's all for now, folks. This is Artificial Lure saying tight lines and good fishing to you all. See you on the water!

    "Maine's Striper Surge: Haddock Hot Spots and Trout Treasures"
    May 23 2025
    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!
