Bluefish
Bluefish are a thrilling inshore target around Kittery Point, Maine, particularly for anglers seeking aggressive strikes and hard-fighting fish. The Piscataqua River estuary and the rocky coastline provide ideal habitat. The best action typically occurs from late spring through early fall, as the water warms and baitfish become plentiful. Look for bluefish blitzes – surface feeding frenzies – often indicated by diving birds. A key tip is to use wire leaders, as bluefish have razor-sharp teeth. Topwater lures, spoons, and swimming plugs are all effective, but be prepared to lose a few to these toothy predators. Access is readily available from several public boat ramps and shore fishing spots along the coast. Be aware of strong currents in the Piscataqua River and adjust your tactics accordingly. The bluefish in this area are known for their aggressive behavior, so hold on tight!
