Striped Bass
Northeast Harbor, nestled on Mount Desert Island, provides a unique striped bass fishing experience characterized by its scenic beauty and productive waters. The harbor itself, along with nearby Somes Sound, offers sheltered fishing opportunities, making it ideal for anglers of all skill levels. Focus on areas where freshwater streams enter the saltwater, as these areas often attract baitfish and, consequently, stripers. Summer and early fall are prime times to target stripers here. A local tip: try fishing around the docks and moorings, as stripers often seek refuge and ambush prey in these areas. For boaters, be mindful of the numerous lobster buoys. A slow troll with a live eel can be incredibly effective, especially during the evening hours.
