Bluefish
Birch Harbor provides some exciting Bluefish action along the Maine coast. The key here is understanding their migratory patterns and preferred habitat. These voracious predators typically arrive in force during the late spring and remain through the fall. Focus your efforts around the mouths of rivers and estuaries where they ambush baitfish. Surface plugs and poppers are extremely effective when the bluefish are actively feeding on top. Casting from shore is possible in certain areas, but a boat will grant you access to a wider range of productive spots. A local tip: Bluefish are notorious for their sharp teeth, so always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. The bluefish in this region tend to be aggressive and plentiful, providing non-stop action for anglers of all skill levels. Keep an eye on the presence of birds diving, as this often indicates a school of bluefish feeding below.
