Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluefish
Prospect Harbor, Maine, offers exciting bluefish action during their seasonal runs. These aggressive predators are a blast to catch, and the waters around Prospect Harbor are prime hunting grounds. Bluefish typically arrive in the area during the summer months, following schools of baitfish. Look for them around rocky points, inlets, and near schools of menhaden. Surface lures, such as poppers and swimming plugs, are incredibly effective, as are metal spoons retrieved at a fast pace. A wire leader is a must, as bluefish have razor-sharp teeth. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most productive times. Be mindful of the tides, as bluefish often feed more aggressively during periods of strong current. Local tip: check the waters near Schoodic Point for bluefish blitzes, especially during the outgoing tide. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the bluefish population.
