Striped Bass
Cliff Island, a true gem in Casco Bay, offers a unique and often overlooked striped bass fishery. Its remote location translates to less fishing pressure, providing anglers with a chance to experience a more pristine environment. Focus your efforts around the island's rocky points and ledges, particularly on the eastern side, where strong currents create ideal ambush points for stripers. The gut between Cliff Island and nearby islands can also be a productive area, especially during tide changes. Keep an eye out for bird activity, as diving birds often indicate the presence of baitfish and, consequently, striped bass. Access to Cliff Island is by ferry, so be sure to check the schedule and plan your trip accordingly. The island offers limited amenities, so bring everything you need for a day of fishing. A local tip: early morning and late evening are prime times to target stripers near the surface with topwater lures. The relative lack of pressure often results in aggressive strikes.
