Fresh Water Fishing
Ocean Fishing
Ocean fishing is managed by the State of Maine, with regulations posted online. Be especially cautious of surf conditions. Sudden waves can wash the shore and sweep you out to sea. Additionally, watch your footing, as seaweed and algae-covered rocks can be extremely slippery
Ocean fishing areas include:
Sargent Drive & Somes Sound
Mackerel, bluefish, and striped bass can be found July through September.
Frazer Point on Schoodic Peninsula
Mackerel can be found periodically mid-July through September.
Ice Fishing
Ice fishing season is generally January through March. Many larger ponds and lakes in the park are popular locations for ice fishing. Please be cautious on frozen bodies of water and ensure that ice thickness is sufficient to support your weight.
