  • Résumé

  • As of November 15, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine is quite active, despite the challenging weather conditions.

    ### 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. Tides are moderate, with high tide expected around 10:30 AM and low tide at 4:30 PM.

    ### 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.

    ### Fish Activity
    Despite the rough seas, several species are active in these waters. Pollock have been the stars of the show, with numerous catches reported. Anglers on the Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing trips yesterday landed several large pollock, including a 36-pound Maine state trophy white hake, though this was an exception. More commonly, pollock in the 13-20 pound range were caught in abundance. Other species include cod, haddock, and cusk, which were also landed in good numbers[3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For pollock and other groundfish, jigs and cod flies have been the most effective. These lures allow for deep penetration and attract the fish even in rough conditions. For those targeting larger species like bluefin tuna, skirted ballyhoo have been successful, though this requires venturing further offshore[1][5].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the area around Block Island, where bonito and striped bass are mixing with bottom species. Another good spot is the eastern Long Island Sound, where large blackfish have moved in, with many 7- to 9-pound fish reported just outside the Thames River to the Watch Hill Reefs[2][5].

    If you're willing to brave the rough seas, today could be a rewarding day for fishing off the coast of Maine. Just make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the challenging conditions.
