Late Fall Bite on the Maine Coast: Flounder, Sea Bass, and Bluefish Abound


Listen Later

Good morning, folks. It’s Artificial Lure here, and I’m bringing you the latest from the Atlantic Ocean, Maine. Today’s the 24th of November, and the water’s got that crisp, late-fall bite. The tide’s just starting to turn, with a high tide at 1:32 AM and a low tide around 7:22 AM, so the morning bite should be strong as the water starts to move. The high tide height was about 7.5 feet, and the low was just under 1.5 feet, which means the current’s gonna be steady, perfect for working lures along the edges.

Sunrise was at 7:07 AM, and sunset will be at 5:44 PM, so you’ve got a solid day of light to work with. The weather’s cool, with a light breeze out of the northeast, and the water temperature’s hovering around 45 degrees. That’s prime time for some of the hardier species that stick around this time of year.

Fish activity’s been steady, with reports of flounder, black sea bass, and the occasional bluefish showing up in the shallows. Last week, anglers were landing flounder using soft plastics and live bait, and there’s been a few stripers caught near the inlets, especially around dawn and dusk. The most common species targeted right now are flounder, black sea bass, and bluefish, with some anglers still getting lucky with striped bass.

For lures, I’d recommend sticking with soft plastics like Gulp! Shrimp or Berkley Gulp! Minnows, rigged on a jig head. These are working well for flounder and sea bass. For bluefish and stripers, try a 1/2-ounce white or chartreuse spoon, or a topwater popper if you’re out near the inlets. Live bait like sandworms and clams are also producing, especially for flounder and sea bass.

A couple of hot spots to check out are Kennebunkport and Long Sands Beach. Kennebunkport’s got a good mix of inshore and nearshore structure, and the tide’s been running strong there, which is bringing in the fish. Long Sands Beach is a classic spot for flounder and bluefish, and the surf’s been holding up well.
