Bluefish
If you're after Bluefish around Squirrel Island, Maine, you're in for some exciting action. This area is known for its rocky coastline and strong currents, creating an ideal habitat for Bluefish to ambush prey. The best time to target them is typically from late spring through early fall, when they migrate into the area in pursuit of baitfish. A key to success here is to locate areas with strong currents and structure, such as rocky points and ledges. Try casting topwater lures or trolling with spoons and plugs. A local tip: keep an eye out for diving birds, as they often indicate schools of baitfish, and where there's baitfish, there are likely Bluefish. Be prepared for aggressive strikes and hard fights – Bluefish are known for their voracious appetites and powerful runs.
