Bluefish
Chasing bluefish in the Sandy Point, Maine area is all about timing and understanding the bait migrations. These voracious predators follow schools of smaller fish, so keep an eye out for surface activity and bird congregations, especially in the Penobscot Bay and around the islands offshore. The late summer and early fall are prime times as the blues gorge themselves before heading south. Match your lure or bait to the prevalent forage – sand eels, herring, or mackerel are common. Don't be afraid to experiment with retrieves and depths, as bluefish can be fickle. A practical tip: access to the bay is readily available from several public boat launches in the area, but be mindful of the tides, as they can be significant. Also, be prepared for strong currents, especially around the mouths of rivers and inlets, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your presentation in the strike zone. Blues in Maine are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, so be sure your tackle is up to the task.
