Bluefish
Bluefish offer exhilarating action in the waters surrounding Rockland, Maine, particularly during the warmer months. These voracious predators arrive with the warming waters, typically peaking in late summer and early fall. Focus your efforts around Penobscot Bay, targeting areas with strong currents and abundant baitfish. Bluefish are aggressive feeders, so don't be shy about using noisy topwater lures or flashy metal spoons to attract their attention. A local's secret is to pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate schools of bluefish feeding on baitfish below. Remember that bluefish have sharp teeth, so use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. Access to good fishing spots is readily available from the public boat launch in Rockland Harbor, but be mindful of the often-choppy conditions in the outer bay.
