サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off Maine is quite active, despite the challenging weather conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day out on the water.
### 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 sea conditions are rough, with significant swells that could make for a bumpy ride. Tides are crucial; today, low tide is at around 9:30 AM and high tide at 3:30 PM. Be prepared for the wind and waves.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 3:53 PM, giving you a good window of daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Despite the rough conditions, the fish are active. Yesterday’s reports indicate a strong presence of pollock, cod, and haddock. Pollock were particularly abundant, with several anglers landing fish in the 10-20 pound range. There were also reports of dogfish, blue sharks, and mackerel.
### Best Lures and Bait
For the best results, use jigs and cod flies, as these caught the most fish by far in recent trips. Drifting and anchoring both proved effective, but the key is to be patient and persistent given the weather.
### Hot Spots
If you’re looking for hot spots, consider the waters off the Maine coast where the Bunny Clark Deep Sea Fishing charters have been successful. Areas around the Gulf of Maine, particularly where the water is around 100 feet deep, have yielded good catches of pollock, cod, and haddock.
### Additional Tips
Be prepared for sea sickness due to the rough conditions, and make sure to check all your gear before leaving the dock. The fish are there, but you need to brave the elements to catch them.
Stay safe, and good luck on the water
