Half Day Smallmouth Bass Fishing Trip

Half day trips are a float trip down the lower Kennebec River in our fishing rafts, just downstream of Northern Outdoors. Plan to arrive at Northern Outdoors at the appropriate check-in time. From there, you are transported to prime bass fishing territory- and within a half hour from the time you leave Northern Outdoors, you’ll be on the water fishing! Total trip duration is 4 – 4 1/2 hours and action-packed, with sometimes 30-50 fish landed in a single trip.

At the end of the trip, you’ll be transported back to the Lodge at Northern Outdoors, about 10-15 minutes drive. Enjoy the Kennebec River Pub and Brewery at the lodge after your fishing trip, where you’ll find hearty meals and handcrafted ales and lagers.

Full Day Smallmouth Bass Fishing Trip

A full day smallmouth bass trip is geared towards those looking to spend a full day on the water with fishing guides who know these Maine waterways. It offers a chance at a true trophy smallmouth, up to 5 lbs and as long as 23 inches. Your day starts at 7:30am at Northern Outdoors, where you meet your guide and review the day. All gear and transportation is required- though you’re welcome to bring your own gear should you want to. Total trip duration is 8+ hours and filled with beautiful scenery in the Kennebec Valley region’s uncrowded and remote river systems.

End your day at Northern Outdoors with a hearty meal and delcious beverage – you earned it!
