Reel in the Big Ones: Maine's Top Bass Fishing Trip

Looking to land some trophy bass in the heart of Maine? Our 4-hour guided fishing trip is your ticket to hooking into some serious action. Whether you're an early bird or prefer a leisurely afternoon, we've got a time slot that'll work for you. We'll hit the water armed with all the gear you need, plus we'll keep you fueled up with snacks and a hearty lunch. Our local guides know these waters like the back of their hand, so get ready for some world-class fishing in some of the most beautiful lakes Maine has to offer.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard our fully-equipped fishing boat, you'll feel the excitement building. Our experienced guides will get you set up with top-notch gear and share some local tips to increase your chances of landing a lunker. We'll cruise to some of our favorite honey holes where the bass are known to hang out. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we'll make sure you're comfortable and having a blast. The beauty of Maine's lakes will surround you as you cast your line – from the misty morning light to the golden afternoon glow reflecting off the water.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

We'll teach you the tricks of the trade that work best for Maine bass fishing. You might find yourself flipping jigs under overhanging trees, working a topwater lure across a weed bed, or finessing a soft plastic worm along a rocky point. Our guides are masters at reading the water and will help you choose the right lure and presentation for the conditions. We use a mix of spinning and baitcasting setups, and we'll show you how to work each one effectively. Don't worry if you're new to this – we'll have you casting like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks who fish with us tend to get hooked themselves. Maybe it's the thrill of feeling that first tug on the line, or the rush of reeling in a fat bass. Could be the peaceful moments between catches, soaking in the natural beauty of Maine's lakes. Or perhaps it's the stories and laughs shared with your guide and fishing buddy. Whatever it is, our trips have a way of creating memories that last a lifetime. Plus, with our expert guides putting you on the fish, you've got a real shot at landing that bass of a lifetime.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Smallmouth Bass: These bronzebacks are the scrappy fighters of Maine's lakes. They love rocky areas and will put up a fight that'll have your rod bent double. Smallies in our waters can grow up to 5 pounds or more, and they're known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. Spring and early summer are prime times to target these feisty fish, but they'll bite year-round if you know where to look.

Largemouth Bass: The bucketmouths in our lakes can grow to impressive sizes, with some topping 8 pounds. These ambush predators love to hang out near structure like fallen trees or weed edges. They're less likely to jump than their smallmouth cousins, but they'll use their bulk to dive deep and test your drag. Summer is the peak season for largemouth, but we catch them from ice-out to late fall.

Time to Book Your Spot

Ready to experience some of the best bass fishing Maine has to offer? Our 4-hour guided trips are perfect for fitting a serious fishing session into your busy schedule.

Learn more about the species

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the big dogs of Maine's lakes, usually 2-5 pounds but can top 10. Look for them around weeds, fallen trees, and docks in warmer, shallower water. They're most active in spring and fall, but you can catch 'em year-round if you know where to look. Anglers love largemouth for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. They'll hit just about anything that moves - from plastic worms to topwater lures. In summer, try fishing early morning or evening when they're feeding. One local tip: work a weedless frog lure slowly across lily pads. When a bass blows up on it, wait a second before setting the hook. It's an exciting way to fish and can land you some real lunkers. Whether you're after a trophy or just want to have fun, largemouth bass fishing in Maine is hard to beat.

Largemouth Bass

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are feisty fighters that typically run 12-18 inches and 2-4 pounds. You'll find them in clear, rocky areas of lakes and rivers. They love cool water, so they go deep in summer heat. Spring and fall are prime times when they're in shallower spots. Anglers love smallies for their acrobatic leaps and strong pulls. They're also great eating fish with firm, white meat. To catch 'em, try crawfish-colored jigs or tubes bounced along the bottom. When the water's warm, focus on points and drop-offs near deep water. One local trick: on sunny days, cast parallel to shady shorelines where smallies ambush prey. Whether you're a beginner or pro, hooking into a smallmouth is always a blast.
