Episode Synopsis

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your Maine fishing report for Wednesday, October 22nd.We've got near-perfect conditions out there today. The air temperature is sitting at a comfortable 63 degrees, with winds that started westerly at eight knots overnight but have calmed down to practically nothing - we're talking three to five knots max. The ocean is flat calm with excellent visibility, and those overcast skies from earlier have cleared up nicely.For tide information, York Harbor shows high tide hit at 12:14 AM at 8.66 feet, with low tide coming at 6:19 AM at just under a foot. We've got another high tide at 12:19 PM reaching 9.26 feet, and a second low at 6:49 PM. The tidal coefficient is running strong in the high 70s to low 80s, which means we're looking at good tidal movement and current - exactly what gets fish active.The bite has been excellent lately. A recent trip out of Perkins Cove reported outstanding action with calm seas the entire way to the grounds. Anglers are bringing in primarily keeper pollock around 3 pounds, along with two cod, ten cusk, six haddock, thirty-nine redfish, plus whiting, mackerel, and even a cunner. The dogfish have been absent, which is a huge relief, and only one blue shark showed up to bother anyone.For your tackle box, jigs and cod flies are producing consistently. With the calm conditions, you can work them effectively without fighting heavy seas. The bottom has been easy to tend, and fish are holding well on structure.Hot spots to consider: the grounds offshore from Perkins Cove have been firing, and if you're looking closer to shore, the areas around York Harbor are worth exploring during the tide changes.The fishing window looks fantastic through the rest of the week, so get out there while conditions hold.Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for your daily fishing reports.
