Largemouth Bass

Looking to hook into some largemouth bass in northern Alabama? Gaylesville offers access to some productive fishing in the Weiss Lake area. Weiss Lake is a reservoir on the Coosa River known as the 'Crappie Capital of the World', but don't let that fool you, it also holds a healthy population of largemouth. Spring and fall are the best times to target bass here, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Focus on areas with grass, boat docks, and submerged timber. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. The Little River Marina is a popular access point with a boat ramp. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms. The largemouth in Weiss Lake tend to be relatively healthy and aggressive, offering an enjoyable fishing experience.
