Bluefish
Bluefish blitzes around Peaks Island, Maine, offer some of the most exciting inshore action you can find. These aggressive predators are known for their voracious appetites and hard-fighting nature. The best time to target Bluefish is typically from mid-summer through early fall, when they migrate into the area following schools of baitfish. Look for surface activity, such as birds diving and fish breaking the water. Casting with metal lures, poppers, or even chunks of bait can be highly effective. Focus your efforts around rocky points, rips, and areas with strong currents. Be aware that Bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Accessing fishing spots around Peaks Island is easy via the ferry from Portland. Check local tide charts, as the bite often improves during periods of strong tidal flow. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the Bluefish population for future generations.
