Bluefish
Bluefish are aggressive predators and Bass Harbor can be a productive location to target them. The key is to find areas where baitfish are concentrated, as bluefish will often follow these schools. Look for them around rocky points, inlets, and areas with strong currents. Bluefish show up during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Casting with metal lures, poppers, or swimming plugs can be very effective. Trolling with spoons or tube lures is also a good option. When bluefish are feeding aggressively, they will hit almost anything that moves. Be sure to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. A practical tip is to fish during periods of high tide or strong currents, as these conditions often trigger feeding activity. The town dock in Bass Harbor offers a convenient access point, but be mindful of boat traffic.
