Northern Pike
Northern pike fishing near Hallowell, Maine, provides a unique opportunity to target these apex predators in a relatively accessible setting. While Maine isn't as famous for pike as some Midwestern states, the Kennebec River and its connected waterways hold a healthy population. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation, backwater sloughs, and creek mouths where pike ambush their prey. Spring, just after ice-out, and fall, before the river freezes over, are the most productive times. Pike are aggressive feeders during these periods, preparing for the spawn or stocking up for winter. The Kennebec River offers boat access via several public launches in and around Hallowell. A practical tip: be prepared for strong currents, especially during spring runoff. Large lures, such as swimbaits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits, are effective for attracting pike strikes. Also, consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have sharp teeth. Pike in the Kennebec River system can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a challenging fight.
