Maine’s most underrated saltwater fish is here. The challenge is finding them.

Bluefish, often overlooked despite being a highly sought-after catch in Maine, can be found and caught using various techniques like chumming, trolling, and casting from diverse spots such as piers, jetties, and beaches. These fish are versatile and can be lured with live or cut bait, jigs, lures, and even flies. While they’re not as famous as other saltwater fish, their resurgence in popularity highlights the rich diversity of marine life in Maine, making them a noteworthy addition to any angler’s repertoire. This resurgence underscores the importance of exploring less-known species to diversify fishing experiences and promote sustainable practices.
