Largemouth Bass
Looking for largemouth bass near Bath, Maine? The Androscoggin River and its connected ponds offer some excellent opportunities. While the Androscoggin itself can be challenging due to tidal influence, the quieter coves and backwaters hold good numbers of bass. Nequasset Lake, a short drive from Bath, is also a popular choice. The best time to target largemouth is during the warmer months, with the pre-spawn period in late spring and the post-spawn period in early summer being particularly productive. For river access, consider the boat ramp at the end of Water Street in downtown Bath. For Nequasset Lake, there's a public launch site. A local tip: The tidal nature of the Androscoggin means water levels and currents can change rapidly, so pay close attention to the tides and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly. The bass population around Bath is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, though larger fish can be more challenging to find, requiring more targeted techniques.
