# Atlantic Ocean, Maine Fishing Report - Tuesday, November 25th

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your daily fishing report for Maine's Atlantic waters. Let's get right into it.

**Tidal Conditions**

We've got excellent tidal movement today. High tide hit around 2:14 AM at Kennebunkport with a solid 7.46 feet. York Harbor saw similar conditions with a 7.56-foot high at 2:03 AM. These strong tidal swings are pushing baitfish and getting the larger species active. If you're heading out this afternoon, you'll have a nice incoming tide pushing through the evening hours—perfect for stripers and pollock.

**What's Biting**

According to recent fishing reports from the Kennebunkport and Bar Harbor areas, we're seeing solid activity on big pollock, haddock, and stripers. The pollock are particularly aggressive right now, so target deeper structure with jigging. Haddock are cooperating around the ledges, and stripers are cruising the rocky areas looking for baitfish.

**Best Tactics**

For lures, you can't go wrong with vertical jigging spoons for the pollock—they're hammering them. Work the structure hard with 3 to 6-ounce spoons in silver or gold. For stripers, throw topwater plugs early in the tidal shift or go with live mackerel. Speaking of bait, fresh herring and mackerel are your ticket today. The Atlantic mackerel fishery has been active, and that baitfish availability means the predators are feeding heavily.

**Hot Spots**

Get yourself out to the rocky areas around Cape Elizabeth and Seal Cove—the high tide at Seal Cove hit 9.55 feet just after 1 PM, which concentrates baitfish and creates excellent holding areas. Also, don't sleep on the deeper structure between Portland Head Light and offshore ledges. The current is pushing right now, and the fish are stacked.
