Listen "Maine Fishing Report: Stripers, Herring, and Freshwater Trout - 3/29/2025"
Episode Synopsis
Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 29, 2025. It's shaping up to be a beautiful day along the Maine coast, with the sun rising at 6:28 AM and setting at 7:05 PM. The tides are looking good today, with high tide at 11:43 AM, reaching 10.4 feet, and low tide at 5:47 PM, dropping to -1.1 feet.Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-50s. The wind is coming in from the southwest at about 10 knots, so it should be a decent day to get out on the water.Now, let's talk fish! The striped bass are starting to show up in good numbers, especially in the tidal rivers and salt ponds. We've been seeing some nice schoolies in the 20-25 inch range, with a few keepers mixed in. The herring runs are in full swing, and the resident stripers are taking notice.For lures, you can't go wrong with a Hogy Pro Tail Paddle in the 5-inch size. These have been absolutely killer for both boat and shore anglers. If you're fishing from the beach, try tossing a white bucktail jig or a gold spoon - these classics never fail.Live bait anglers have been having success with fresh sea worms and cut menhaden. If you can get your hands on some live mackerel, that's been the ticket for bigger bass.As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the Kennebec River near Bath or the Webhannet River in Wells. Both of these areas have been producing some nice fish lately.Don't forget about the freshwater options, either. The trout stocking trucks have been out in force, and lakes like Highland Lake and Sebago Lake are fishing well for browns and rainbows.Just a reminder, folks - make sure you've got your 2025 fishing license and you're up to date on the regulations. The wardens have been out and about, so let's all play by the rules.That's all for now, anglers. Get out there and tight lines to ya!This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
