What's Biting at Burnt Island
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current Maine DMR recreational rules before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
Atlantic Mackerel
Scomber scombrus
Season: Summer in the Gulf of Maine
Baits: Sabiki or mackerel tree rigs, Small diamond jigs, Small spoons
Schools move along the coast and into harbors in summer. A multi-hook mackerel rig with a small jig below, cast and retrieved or jigged from a wharf or rocks, often catches several at once. Look for birds and bait on the surface; the tide pushing into a harbor often brings them in.
