Target Species Fishing in Maine with Fish N Fowl

Popular Maine Species and When to Catch Them

At Fish N Fowl, we specialize in helping anglers land Maine’s most sought-after fish species. Striped bass fishing in Casco Bay is at its peak from late spring through early fall, making it one of the most popular choices for both locals and visitors. Bluefish action heats up in summer when warm waters push schools closer to shore, while mackerel provide fast-paced fishing fun for all ages throughout the season. For those looking to explore something different, tropical fish such as bonito occasionally appear during the warmest months, adding excitement to every trip. Knowing the best time to catch these fish is key, and our guides track real-time conditions to make sure every outing is productive.

Seasonal Highlights That Drive Action

Maine’s fishing calendar offers year-round opportunities for anglers who want to plan around peak seasons. Spring brings in waves of striped bass along rocky coastlines, summer is the best time to target bluefish and mackerel under clear skies, and fall is prime for late-season stripers before migration. Each season has its own rhythm, and booking your trip around these highlights ensures the highest success rate. Our team at Fish N Fowl knows where and when the fish are biting, making your chances of a trophy catch stronger than ever.
