Maine's Gulf of Maine waters hold a cooler-water striped bass fishery and a real shot at giant bluefin tuna, and Magictail Outfitters builds tackle for both.
Peak Seasons
Striped Bass: Best June through September as stripers work the bays and river mouths from Casco Bay to the Midcoast.
Bluefin Tuna: August through October, as giants push into the Gulf of Maine chasing herring and mackerel.
