  • Striper Showdown: Lure Up for Maine's Coastal Fishing Bonanza
    May 5 2025
    Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Maine Atlantic coast fishing report for this fine Monday morning, May 5th, 2025.

    The rivers throughout Great Bay and Maine are absolutely surging with river herring right now, which means one thing - striped bass are on their way! In fact, some early arrivals should already be in residence, following those baitfish schools. If you're heading out today, keep your eyes peeled for those seven-striped beauties.

    Groundfishing remains excellent offshore, with bottom composition being your best indicator of what you'll hook into. If you're looking for haddock, head to the soft-bottom areas of Jeffrey's Ledge, where Central Cove and The Prong have been particularly productive lately. For those of you after cod, cusk, or redfish, you'll want to target rocky substrate instead.

    On the freshwater scene, salmon are still holding on top at Sebago and Ossipee lakes, while smallmouth bass have moved into the shallows and are aggressively hitting jerk baits and swim baits. These smallies are absolutely crushing it right now!

    For those headed offshore, mackerel should be moving in any day now, which will only improve the striper action. Bring along some tube and worm rigs, or if you're lucky enough to catch some of those river herring, they make excellent live bait for larger predators.

    Hot spots to check out today include:
    1. The mouth of the Kennebec River, where river herring are congregating and stripers are likely feeding
    2. Jeffrey's Ledge for your groundfish action, especially those soft-bottom areas for haddock
    3. The rocky areas around Casco Bay for a mixed bag of groundfish species

    Weather-wise, we're looking at typical early May conditions - still a bit chilly on the water, so layer up. The morning bite should be good with the incoming tide, so get out there early if you can.

    Bait recommendations for today: clams and sea worms are working well for groundfish, while artificial lures like Savage Gear swim baits and Rapala jerk baits are producing for the bass crowd. Don't forget your bucktail jigs tipped with gulp baits - they're still a go-to this time of year.

    Remember, with the recent NOAA emergency measures for the Northeast Multispecies fishery that took effect on May 1st, make sure you're up to date on all regulations, especially regarding Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, and Georges Bank haddock.

    That's it for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and fair winds to you all!

  • "Maine Coast Fishing Report: Haddock, Stripers, and Spawning Smallies"
    May 4 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 4, 2025, fresh off the water around the Maine coast.

    It's shaping up to be a prime day on the Atlantic! The early birds among you are already casting lines as the sun rose about an hour ago, around 5:30 AM, with sunset expected around 7:45 PM, giving us a nice long day on the water.

    Let me tell you, things are really heating up across our waters this first week of May. The groundfishing remains excellent, especially if you know where to look. Jeffrey's Ledge is still producing solid haddock catches, particularly in soft-bottom areas like Central Cove and The Prong[1]. If you're after cod, cusk, or redfish, focus your efforts on the rockier bottoms.

    The big news this week is the river herring run which is absolutely surging through the rivers feeding into Great Bay and along the Maine coast[1][2]. This means one thing, folks - striped bass are about to make their grand entrance! With mackerel ready to move in as well, we should be seeing those seven-striped beauties any day now[1].

    For those heading out today, I'd recommend packing a variety of lures. Jerk baits and swim baits have been working wonders for smallmouth bass, which are holding in the shallows and hitting aggressively[1][2]. For the saltwater crowd, clams have been productive for stripers in the surf areas just south of us, so worth trying here too.

    As for hot spots, you can't go wrong with the rivers throughout Great Bay right now with all the herring action. The Kennebec and Penobscot mouths should be firing up as those herring push upstream. For the freshwater enthusiasts, both Sebago and Ossipee lakes are still producing salmon near the surface[1][2].

    Be aware that NOAA implemented new fishing regulations as of May 1st, setting interim specifications for Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, and Georges Bank haddock[5]. Make sure you're up to date on these changes before heading out.

    The tides today show a high around noon with a moderate outgoing tide through the afternoon - perfect for working the river mouths as that bait gets pushed out.

    Worth noting for you freshwater folks - those smallies are getting ready to spawn, so they're aggressive and shallow now. This bite won't last forever, so get out there while it's hot!

    That's it from me today - tight lines, friends, and I'll see you on the water!

  • Title: Maine's Hotspot Fishing Update: Stripers, Groundfish, and Freshwater Favorites Shine on the Waterways
    May 3 2025
    Artificial Lure here, with your freshwater and saltwater fishing update for Saturday, May 3, 2025, across Maine's Atlantic waters.

    Folks, it's prime time on the water! The rivers throughout Great Bay and coastal Maine are absolutely surging with river herring right now[1]. This bait movement is setting the stage for what should be an exciting weekend of fishing.

    The big news is that striped bass are making their entrance! While their movement has been a touch slower than previous years[4], the recent influx of river herring has these seven-striped beauties starting to show up in good numbers[1]. With mackerel also poised to move inshore any day now, expect the striper action to really heat up in the coming week[1].

    Groundfishing remains excellent offshore. If you're heading out to deeper waters, Jeffrey's Ledge is still holding plenty of haddock, especially in the soft-bottom areas around Central Cove and The Prong[1]. For those targeting cod, cusk and redfish, focus on the rockier structure - that's where they're hanging out[1].

    For the freshwater enthusiasts, salmon are still riding high in Sebago and Ossipee lakes[1][3]. The smallmouth bass fishing has been particularly hot, with these fighters moving into the shallows and aggressively hitting jerk baits and swim baits[1][3]. Don't overlook the largemouth either - they're definitely on the feed as water temperatures continue to climb[1].

    Bait-wise, for stripers, fresh chunks of herring have been producing well, but don't leave home without some soft plastics in white or chartreuse. For the groundfish, sea clams and squid strips on traditional high-low rigs are getting it done.

    Two hot spots to consider today: the mouth of the Kennebec River where the herring run is attracting hungry stripers, and for the offshore crowd, the eastern edge of Jeffrey's Ledge where reports indicate a mixed bag of bottom dwellers.

    The Northern Gulf of Maine scallop fishery reopened on April 21 after a brief closure and will remain open until the 675,563-pound set-aside is harvested, so scallop lovers still have time[5].

    Weather today is looking decent for early May - light northeast winds shifting easterly by afternoon, with temps in the mid-50s. Sunrise was at 5:18 AM, and we'll have light until sunset at 7:49 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water.

    So grab your gear and hit the water, folks - the spring run is building momentum! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time. Tight lines!
