Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for all things rod and reel along the Maine coast. It's a chilly Monday morning, December 29th, with rain drizzlin' down in Ogunquit Perkins Cove at 34 degrees—bundle up, but that incoming high tide around 5:34 AM at York Harbor pushin' 9 feet should stir things up. Sunrise hit about 7:13 AM, sunset 'round 4:37 PM, so fish the daylight windows smart.

Tides from Tide-Forecast.com show high at 5:34 AM (9.17 ft), low mid-mornin', then evenin' push—perfect for bottom bouncers as current rips baitfish. NOAA Tides & Currents backs it for Pine Point with highs near 9 feet early.

Eastman's Docks reports redfish slammin' hard yesterday the 28th—big ones pilin' in early season, abundance like I've not seen in December. Pollock spots slow, haddock mostly undersized at 18 inches, all released per regs. White sharks lurk offshore per Wikipedia patterns, congregatin' Gulf of Maine in winter, but they're not on the menu.

Fish activity's pickin' up with calmer forecasts—redfish aggressive on the prowl. Limits on slabs reported, mix of pollock and shorts.

Best lures? Go heavy jigs or lipless crankbaits like Yo-Zuri Rattl’n Vibe in shad or red for winter vibes—rip 'em over structure per Wired2Fish winter patterns. Bait-wise, herring chunks or clams for bottom dwellers; live mackerel if you can snag it.

Hot spots: Hit Eastman's Docks runs offshore for redfish frenzy, or Perkins Cove ledges for pollock on the tide shift. Stay safe out there, seas can flip quick.
