26 MAR 2025 · Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Maine coastal fishing report for March 26, 2025. It's shaping up to be a decent day on the water, so let's dive right in.
First off, sunrise was at 6:34 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:02 PM. Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly this morning at 45°F, but we're expecting it to warm up to the mid-50s by afternoon. Winds are light from the southwest, which should make for some calm seas.
Now, let's talk tides. High tide hit at 9:09 AM, measuring about 9'2", and we've got another high coming in at 9:46 PM. Low tide's at 3:28 PM, so plan your fishing accordingly, folks.
As for the fish, we're seeing some good action out there. Striped bass are starting to show up in the rivers and along the coast. They're chasing herring, so if you're looking to land a keeper, try using soft plastic paddletails or stickbaits that mimic those baitfish. The Hogy Pro Tail Paddles have been working wonders lately.
Speaking of herring, the runs are in full swing. While we can't use them as bait anymore, they're bringing in the predators. Anglers have been having luck with white or chrome-colored lures, especially in the early mornings and late evenings.
For you groundfish enthusiasts, the haddock bite has been pretty solid. A fella named Rick Turner pulled in a 9-pounder not too long ago, which is a real nice fish. If you're heading out deep, jig with clams or squid near rocky bottom in about 100 feet of water.
Now, if you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the mouth of the Kennebec River or around the islands off Boothbay Harbor. The stripers have been stacking up in those areas. For the boat crowd, Jeffreys Ledge has been producing some quality haddock and pollock.
Don't forget, folks, the water's still pretty cold, so if you're wading, make sure you've got your proper gear on. Safety first, always.
That's all I've got for you today. Remember to check your regulations, and let's hope for tight lines and bent rods. This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time. Fish on, Maine!

24 MAR 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 24, 2025, along the Maine coast. It's a crisp morning out on the Atlantic, with temps hovering around 45°F and a light breeze from the northeast. We're looking at partly cloudy skies today, with a high of 52°F. Sunrise was at 6:25 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:51 PM.
Tide-wise, we've got a high tide at 7:44 AM, measuring about 10.4 feet, and a low tide coming in at 2:20 PM at around 0.75 feet. Keep an eye on those changing currents, especially if you're fishing the inlets or river mouths.
Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Striped bass are starting to show up in the southern parts of the state, with some decent schoolies being caught in the Kennebec and Androscoggin rivers. We're also seeing some nice pollock action offshore, and the groundfish bite is picking up with cod and haddock being pulled in from depths of 150-200 feet.
For you trout enthusiasts, the stocking trucks have been making their rounds, so the inland waters are teeming with fresh rainbows and browns. Some anglers have been having luck with small streamers and nymphs in the rivers and streams.
Lure-wise, for the stripers, you can't go wrong with soft plastic paddletails in white or chartreuse. The Polk County Tweaker jerkbait has also been producing well. If you're heading offshore for groundfish, diamond jigs and bucktail jigs tipped with clams are your best bet.
Speaking of bait, fresh sea worms and clams are always a good choice this time of year. For the trout, worms or small minnows under a bobber are hard to beat.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the mouth of the Kennebec River for some early striper action. If you're looking to get into some trout, head to the Presumpscot River just outside of Portland - I hear they've been stocking it heavily.
Remember to bundle up, keep your lines tight, and most importantly, have fun out there! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time. Tight lines, everyone!

23 MAR 2025 · Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 23, 2025. It's shaping up to be a decent day out on the water around Atlantic Ocean, Maine.
Let's start with the basics. Sunrise was at 6:29 AM and sunset will be at 6:49 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with. The tides are running pretty normal for this time of year. We've got high tide coming in at 5:40 AM and 6:28 PM, with low tide at 12:14 PM. The water's still a bit chilly, but it's warming up nicely.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-50s. There's a light breeze coming in from the southwest, which should make for some nice conditions out on the water.
Now, let's talk fish. The striped bass are starting to show up in good numbers, especially around the river mouths and rocky shorelines. We've been seeing some nice catches in the 20-30 inch range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. The mackerel are also making their presence known, with some nice schools being spotted just offshore.
For lures, you can't go wrong with a white bucktail jig or a soft plastic paddletail in a light color. The fish seem to be keying in on smaller baitfish right now, so keep your offerings on the smaller side. If you're after mackerel, try a Sabiki rig or small metal jigs.
If you're more of a bait fisherman, fresh clams or sea worms are always a good bet this time of year. We've also been hearing good reports from folks using cut mackerel for stripers.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the mouth of the Kennebec River or around the rocky shoreline near Pemaquid Point. The fish have been pretty active in those areas lately.
One last thing to keep in mind - the cusk fishing has been pretty good lately, especially at night. If you're looking for something a bit different, try dropping some dead bait on the bottom near humps or shoals. You might just hook into one of these tasty bottom-dwellers.
Remember to check your regulations before heading out, and as always, practice safe and responsible fishing. Tight lines, everyone!

22 MAR 2025 · Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 22, 2025 along the Maine coast. It's a crisp morning out on the Atlantic, with temps hovering around 45° and a light breeze coming in from the northeast. Sunrise was at 6:35 AM and we're looking at sunset around 6:51 PM.
Tide-wise, we've got a high tide coming in at 4:48 AM measuring 9.22 feet, followed by a low at 11:29 AM at 1.44 feet. Another high hits at 5:38 PM at 8.08 feet. Keep an eye on those tides if you're fishing the rocky shorelines or inlets.
Fish activity has been picking up with the warmer weather. Striped bass are starting to show up in the rivers and estuaries. A few early birds have been hooking into some schoolies in the Kennebec and Penobscot. Nothing huge yet, but it's a good sign of things to come.
The groundfish bite has been steady offshore. Cod and haddock are still the main targets, with a few pollock mixed in. Folks heading out of Portland and Boothbay have been doing well in 150-200 feet of water. Diamond jigs and bucktail jigs tipped with clams have been the hot ticket.
For you mackerel fanatics, schools are starting to show up inshore. The commercial guys have been seeing good numbers, so recreational anglers should be in for a treat soon. Sabiki rigs are always a go-to, but small metal jigs work great too.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around the mouths of the Kennebec or Penobscot for those early stripers. If you're after groundfish, the ledges off Cashes Ledge have been producing well. For a shore-based option, the rocks at Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth can be good for pollock and the occasional striper.
Bait-wise, fresh sea worms are starting to become available at the local shops. Always a good choice for stripers. For the offshore crowd, clams and squid are your best bets.
Remember to bundle up if you're heading out. The air might be warming, but that ocean is still mighty cold. Tight lines, folks!

19 MAR 2025 · Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Maine fishing report for March 19, 2025.
Looks like we've got a mixed bag today, folks. The tide's coming in, peaking around 3:24 PM at about 7.9 feet. Low tide's at 9:14 PM, dropping to about 1.5 feet. Sunrise was at 6:46 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:53 PM.
Weather-wise, it's a bit chilly with temps in the low 40s, but we've got partly cloudy skies and light winds, so it ain't too shabby for early spring fishing.
Now, onto the good stuff. Striped bass are starting to show up in the southern parts of the state, but they're still a bit sluggish. A few anglers have had luck with soft plastics like Zoom Flukes in pearl white. For you hardcore types, try tossing some topwater lures like Zara Spooks early morning or late evening.
We're also seeing some decent action with pollock and cod in deeper waters. Jigs tipped with clams or squid strips have been producing nice catches.
For you folks looking to stay inshore, the flounder bite has been picking up. Try sand worms or sea worms on a simple bottom rig.
Hot spots this week include Wells Harbor for some early striper action, and Casco Bay for mixed bag fishing. If you're looking to get out further, the waters around Jeffreys Ledge have been productive for groundfish.
Bait-wise, fresh sea worms and clams are your best bet for most species. For artificial lures, I'd stock up on some soft plastics in white or pearl, and maybe grab a few Deadly Dicks or Hopkins spoons for casting to schoolies.
Remember, water's still cold, so dress warm and fish slow. Tight lines, everyone!

17 MAR 2025 · Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Maine coastal fishing report for March 17, 2025.
It's a brisk morning out on the water, with temps hovering around 40°F and a light northwesterly breeze. The sun poked its head up at 6:50 AM and will dip back down at 6:51 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with.
Tide-wise, we're looking at a high tide around 1:43 AM and 2:08 PM, with lows at 7:53 AM and 8:02 PM. The fish have been biting best on the incoming tide, so plan accordingly.

For lures, I've had luck with white bucktail jigs tipped with soft plastics, as well as small swimming plugs like the Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow. If you're looking to use bait, fresh mackerel or clams have been producing well.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the rocky shoreline around Pemaquid Point or the mouth of the Kennebec River. The Sheepscot River has also been producing some nice fish lately.
Remember, the water's still pretty chilly, so dress warm and be safe out there. Tight lines, everyone!

15 MAR 2025 · Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 15, 2025. It's a beautiful Saturday morning here on the coast of Maine, and let me tell you, the fishing's been heating up!
First off, let's talk tides. High tide's coming in at 12:53 PM, hitting about 9.5 feet. Low tide's at 6:59 AM and 6:59 PM, dropping down to about 0.3 feet. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:47 PM. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 48°F and light winds from the southwest.
Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Striped bass have been making their way back into our waters, with some early arrivals already being caught in the Kennebec and Mousam Rivers. Most of these fish are in the 24-28 inch range, but a few lunkers over 30 inches have been reported. The water's still a bit chilly, so they're not super active yet, but that's changing by the day.
We've also been seeing some decent action with pollock and cod in the deeper waters offshore. A few boats out of Portland and Boothbay Harbor have been coming back with good hauls. The haddock bite has been picking up too, especially around Jeffreys Ledge.
For you freshwater anglers, the ice is starting to come off some of our coastal ponds, and the brook trout fishing has been excellent. A few anglers have even reported catching some holdover landlocked salmon in places like Sebago Lake.
As for lures, can't go wrong with soft plastics for the stripers. White or pearl Hogy lures have been working well, as have paddletails in similar colors. For the offshore crowd, diamond jigs and bucktail jigs tipped with clams have been producing.
If you're more of a bait fisherman, fresh sea worms or chunk mackerel have been the ticket for stripers. Clams are working well for the cod and haddock.
For hot spots, I'd recommend trying the mouth of the Kennebunk River or the Wells Harbor area for some early season striper action. If you're looking to get offshore, the waters around Platts Bank have been producing some nice cod and pollock.
Remember, folks, the season's just getting started, so be patient and persistent. The big ones are out there, and they're getting hungrier by the day. Tight lines, everyone!

14 MAR 2025 · Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 14, 2025. It's shaping up to be a decent day out on the Atlantic waters off Maine.
Let's start with the tides. In Portland, we've got a high tide at 1:59 AM hitting about 10.6 feet, and a low tide at 8:14 AM dropping to about -1.1 feet. The next high tide rolls in at 2:12 PM, reaching 10.5 feet. Keep an eye on those changing waters, they can make all the difference.
Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid-40s. Winds are light out of the southwest, so conditions should be pretty favorable for getting out there. Sunrise was at 6:55 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:43 PM.
Now, onto the fishing. Striped bass are starting to show up in the rivers and estuaries as they stage for their spring run. Most are schoolies in the 16-22 inch range, but hey, it's always nice to get those first stripers of the season on the line. We've also been seeing some decent action with cod and haddock in the deeper waters.
For you freshwater folks, the ice is starting to go on a lot of ponds, especially closer to the coast. Still some safe ice up north, but be careful out there. Largemouth bass and pickerel have been biting well through the ice where it's still solid.
Lure-wise, can't go wrong with a white 3.5-inch paddletail soft plastic for the stripers. Rig it on a 1/4 oz jighead and you're in business. For the cod and haddock, try jigging with clams or mackerel on the hook. If you're after some trout in the rivers, small jigs tipped with a piece of worm have been doing the trick.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying the Kennebec River around Bath for those early stripers. If you're looking to get out on the ocean, the waters off Casco Bay have been producing some nice cod and haddock.
That's all I've got for now, folks. Remember to bundle up and stay safe out there. Tight lines!
