  • Summary

  • As of November 10, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine is quite active despite the late fall season.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect a crisp morning with temperatures around 40°F, gradually warming up to the mid-50s by afternoon. The sky is mostly clear, with a northwest wind blowing at about 20 knots. Tides are significant, with high tide at 9:32 AM and low tide at 3:32 PM.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise was at 6:24 AM, and sunset will be at 4:06 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday's fishing was challenging due to rough seas, but those who braved the conditions were rewarded. The primary catches included pollock, cod, haddock, and cusk. Pollock were particularly abundant, with several anglers landing fish in the 13-20 pound range. There were also reports of dogfish, blue sharks, and mackerel.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For groundfish like pollock, cod, and haddock, jigs and cod flies were the most effective. Drifting and anchoring were the preferred methods, with jigs catching the most fish by far.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Gulf of Maine, where the Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing charters have been finding excellent numbers of pollock, cod, and haddock. Another good area is the waters around the Fish River Thoroughfare in Eagle Lake and the Fish River in Fort Kent, which are open to year-round fishing and have been producing brook trout and landlocked salmon despite the low water conditions.

    If you're looking to stay closer to shore, the coastal areas around eastern Maine are also worth a try, especially for those targeting species like cod and haddock.

    Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary permits before heading out. With the right gear and a bit of patience, you can still have a successful and enjoyable fishing trip in these late fall waters.
