Casco Bay, ME
Bay in Cumberland County, Maine. A large coastal embayment of the Gulf of Maine off Portland, dotted with the Calendar Islands and fed by the Presumpscot and Royal rivers. Casco Bay is one of Maine's most productive inshore saltwater fisheries: striped bass blitz the flats and river mouths from June through fall, while the deeper Gulf grounds outside the bay hold groundfish such as Atlantic cod, haddock, and pollock, plus seasonal Atlantic mackerel and bluefish. Tides run roughly nine feet, strongly shaping the bite.
