Largemouth Bass

Cordova, Alabama, nestled near the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing. This area is known for its diverse aquatic habitat, including submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky points, all of which provide ideal cover for bass. Prime time for largemouth here is spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, and again in the fall as the fish fatten up for winter. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lure choices, depending on the cover and water clarity. A local tip: Pay close attention to water levels in the Mulberry Fork, as they can fluctuate significantly due to rainfall and dam releases. Check the USGS river gauges before heading out. Bank fishing access is available at some parks, but a boat or kayak will greatly expand your reach. The largemouth in this section of the Black Warrior system are known for their aggressive strikes, making for an exciting day on the water.
