Bluefish
Old Orchard Beach becomes a hot spot for bluefish action during the summer and early fall as these voracious predators migrate into Maine waters. The Saco River estuary and the coastline around Old Orchard Beach offer excellent opportunities to intercept these schools of blues. Look for birds diving or surface disturbances, which often indicate feeding frenzies. Casting with metal lures, poppers, or swimming plugs is a highly effective method, especially during dawn and dusk. Trolling along the beaches or near rocky outcroppings can also produce results. Be prepared for fast-paced action and aggressive strikes. A practical tip is to use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs from their sharp teeth. The bluefish fishery in Maine is subject to regulations, so be sure to check the current rules and limits before you go.
