Largemouth Bass

Camp Hill, Alabama, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities, particularly in the spring and fall. The numerous private lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area are often overlooked but can hold some real lunkers. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged timber, lily pads, and creek channels. For public access, Lake Martin, a short drive away, is a renowned bass fishery. During the spawn in early spring, target shallow, protected coves with soft plastics or spinnerbaits. In the fall, as the water cools, bass will move into deeper water near points and drop-offs; crankbaits and Carolina rigs can be very effective. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are best fished from the bank or a small boat, so plan accordingly. Be sure to check Alabama's fishing regulations for any specific rules on slot limits or size restrictions.
