Prichard, Alabama, situated near the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, provides a unique landscape for chasing Largemouth Bass. This area, a maze of rivers, creeks, and backwaters, is teeming with bass that thrive in the complex habitat. The Delta's waters offer a diverse fishing experience, from flipping heavy cover to fishing open water. Spring is excellent for targeting spawning bass in the shallows, while fall sees bass actively feeding before winter. The Mobile River and its tributaries offer numerous boat ramps and access points. Be aware of the tidal influence in this region, as it can significantly affect bass behavior and location. Local anglers often recommend focusing on areas with current breaks, such as points, creek mouths, and submerged timber. Also, keep an eye out for alligators; they are a common sight in the Delta.
