Westbrook, Maine, provides convenient access to some decent largemouth bass fishing within a short drive. The Presumpscot River, which flows through Westbrook, holds a population of bass, particularly in its slower-moving sections and backwaters. Additionally, nearby Highland Lake is a popular spot known for its consistent bass fishing. The prime time for targeting largemouth in this area is from late spring through early fall. Look for spawning activity in the spring, and then focus on areas with weed cover and submerged structure throughout the summer. A local tip for the Presumpscot: focus on the areas around fallen trees and docks. For Highland Lake, try fishing along the weed lines with plastic worms or crankbaits. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lures and techniques to find what works best on any given day. Don't overlook the smaller ponds and waterways in the area; they can often hold surprisingly good bass populations with less fishing pressure.
