Largemouth Bass

If you're heading to Ashland, Alabama for largemouth bass, you're in for a treat. The area is dotted with smaller lakes and ponds that hold surprisingly good populations. While not known for trophy-sized fish, these waters offer consistent action, especially during the spring and fall. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged timber and weed lines, as these provide excellent ambush points for bass. The early morning and late evening hours are prime times. For bank access, try the public areas around Lake Wedowee, a short drive from Ashland. A simple Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait can be incredibly effective here. Keep an eye on water clarity; if it's stained, opt for brighter colored lures to help the bass locate your bait.
