Largemouth Bass

Garden City, Alabama, is a great place to target Largemouth Bass, with numerous smaller lakes and ponds dotting the landscape alongside the Mulberry Fork of the Warrior River. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this period. Summer can be good too, but focus on fishing early and late in the day or around submerged structure and vegetation. Fall brings another feeding frenzy as bass fatten up for winter. Flipping jigs around docks and laydowns can be productive. Consider exploring some of the smaller, less-pressured ponds; you might be surprised at the quality of fish they hold. A practical tip: many of the ponds are on private property, so always seek permission before fishing. The Mulberry Fork offers good bank fishing access in certain areas, but be mindful of the current.
