Largemouth Bass
Ellsworth, Maine, nestled near the coast, provides a classic New England setting for pursuing Largemouth Bass. The area is dotted with numerous lakes and ponds, many offering excellent bass fishing. Branch Lake, known for its clear water and rocky structure, is a popular choice. Green Lake, a deeper, colder lake, can also hold some surprises. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal. During the spawn in late May and early June, focus on shallow, protected coves. As summer progresses, bass will move deeper, relating to submerged structure and weed lines. A practical tip: Many of these lakes have limited public access, so research boat launches and parking areas beforehand. Also, be mindful of Maine's fishing regulations, which can vary by lake. The largemouth in this region often exhibit excellent coloration due to the clear, tannin-stained waters. Expect to find a mix of sizes, with the potential for some quality fish.
