24 NOV 2024 · For November 24, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine is quite active, despite the challenging weather conditions.
### Weather and Tidal Report
Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 45°F and a low of 35°F. Winds will be moderate, blowing at about 15 mph from the northwest. Tides are crucial; the high tide is at 9:15 AM, and the low tide is at 3:15 PM. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 3:53 PM.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a good number of anglers braving the chilly waters. The fish activity has been robust, particularly for those targeting groundfish. Pollock, cod, and haddock have been the main catches. Anglers reported catching decent-sized pollock in the deeper waters, with some cod and haddock mixed in.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Pollock have been the most abundant, with many anglers reporting catches in the 10-20 pound range. Cod and haddock are also plentiful, though slightly smaller, typically in the 5-15 pound range.
### Best Lures and Bait
For pollock and cod, jigs tipped with clams or mackerel have been very effective. Haddock are responding well to baited hooks with squid or shrimp. If you're using lures, metal jigs and spoons that mimic the baitfish in the area are working well.
### Hot Spots
Two hot spots to consider today are the waters off Boothbay Harbor and the ledge areas near Kennebunkport. These areas have been producing consistent catches of pollock and cod. For haddock, the rocky bottoms around Portland Head Light have been particularly productive.
### Additional Tips
Be prepared for the cold and windy conditions. Dress warmly and ensure your gear is in good condition to handle the elements. Also, keep an eye on the weather forecast, as conditions can change quickly.
Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water if you're willing to brave the chill. Good luck and stay safe

23 NOV 2024 · For those venturing out into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine on this chilly November 23rd, here’s what you can expect:
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
As of today, the weather is quite brisk with an air temperature around 45°F and a northeast wind blowing at about 20 knots. The sea conditions are rough, with swells making it a challenging day for many anglers. Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 3:45 PM. Tides are moderate, with high tide expected around 10:30 AM and low tide at 4:30 PM.
### Fish Activity
Despite the harsh conditions, the fishing has been decent for those who braved the seas. Yesterday saw a mix of species being caught, with pollock being the standout. Several anglers on the Bunny Clark deep-sea fishing trips reported catching pollock ranging from 10 to 20 pounds, with some notable doubles caught on the same line[3].
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Pollock dominated the catches, with other species like cod, haddock, and cusk also making appearances. There were also reports of dogfish and blue sharks, though these were mostly released. Mackerel were abundant as well, often caught while targeting other species[3].
### Best Lures and Bait
For pollock and other groundfish, jigs and cod flies have been the most effective. Drifting and anchoring have both yielded good results, but the key is to be patient and persistent given the rough sea conditions.
### Hot Spots
If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the waters around the Gulf of Maine. Areas like the coastal regions off Kennebunkport and Boothbay Harbor have been productive. For those willing to venture further out, the grounds near the Canadian border have also seen good catches of pollock and haddock.
Remember to check the current fishing regulations and ensure you're compliant with all local and federal rules. Stay safe and warm out there, and good luck on the water

### Weather and Tidal Conditions
This morning, the air temperature is around 50°F, with overcast skies and a northeast wind blowing at over 20 knots. The visibility is good, but the sea conditions are rough with significant swells, making it a tough day for anglers prone to seasickness.

### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 3:58 PM, giving anglers a relatively short window of daylight.
