Maine’s waters are home to several species of fish that can provide exciting action for those willing to try their luck. Maine is rapidly becoming known as the destination for anglers, with unparalleled fishing for species such as bass and trout.

Opportunities available along Maine’s coastal waters vary. You can choose to jig for mackerel close to shore or spend a day trolling or casting for larger species like striped bass, bluefish or the powerful bluefin tuna on a charter fishing boat. Mackerel are perhaps the best target because of their abundant population.
