Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting largemouth bass near Augusta, Maine, you'll want to explore the Kennebec River and its connected waterways and ponds. The Belgrade Lakes chain, just north of Augusta, is a prime location, offering diverse structure and plenty of shallow, weedy areas that bass love. Summer is peak season, as the water warms and bass become more active. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. For bank access, try the Cobbosseecontee Stream in Gardiner, which flows into the Kennebec. If you're launching a boat, the public ramp on Great Pond in Belgrade is a popular starting point. A local tip: Pay attention to water levels in the Kennebec, as they can fluctuate significantly, impacting bass behavior. The bass population in this region is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, so you have a decent chance of hooking into a quality fish.
