Good morning, anglers! This is Artificial Lure with your fishing report for Sunday, October 12th, 2025, covering the waters off Maine's Atlantic coast.We've got a challenging day ahead, folks. A nor'easter is bearing down on us, bringing strong easterly winds of 35 to 45 knots tonight, with seas building to 13 to 22 feet. Most charter operations have already called it - trips are canceled through Monday as this storm system moves through. The air temperature is sitting around 59 degrees this morning with clear skies early, but conditions are deteriorating rapidly.For tide information, we're looking at low tide hitting around 8:39 AM and high tide at 2:54 PM, with about 9.4 feet of water at the high. Sunrise was just after 7 AM, and we'll see sunset around 6:30 PM.Now, before this weather rolled in, the fishing was absolutely stellar. Recent trips out of local docks have been landing some impressive catches. Pollock are running bigger and more plentiful right now - we're talking fish in the 10 to 15 pound range, with some keepers around 3 pounds mixed in. The cod bite has improved significantly, though you'll need to fish deeper than 60 fathoms to find them consistently. Haddock are still scarther offshore to the south, but they're making their way north.Cusk have been the surprise stars lately, with several boats reporting them as the most common legal catch. White hake are running big too - we've seen fish up to 24 pounds coming over the rails. Redfish are mixed in, mostly smaller keepers.For tackle, jigs and cod flies are your go-to options. Diamond jigs and butterfly jigs have been producing well when you can hold bottom. Skip the bait rigs - fresh clams and squid strips work if you prefer bait fishing.Hot spots? Focus on the deeper water beyond 60 fathoms where the structure holds fish. The offshore grounds southeast of Portland have been consistent producers.Once this nor'easter blows through, we should see a solid bite as fish settle back down. Mid-week looks promising for getting back out there.Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for your daily fishing reports. This has been a Quiet Please production.
