Bluefish
Bluefish are a popular target in the waters surrounding Northeast Harbor, Maine, known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights. These voracious predators are drawn to the area by abundant schools of baitfish, making for exciting fishing opportunities. The bluefish season typically heats up in the summer and extends into the early fall, as water temperatures rise and baitfish become more prevalent. Productive areas include rocky shorelines, inlets, and around islands where baitfish tend to congregate. A great local tip is to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs, as bluefish have sharp teeth. Trolling or casting with spoons, plugs, or live bait can all be effective techniques. The town docks in Northeast Harbor provide convenient access to the water. Be aware of changing tides and currents, as these can influence bluefish activity and location.
