Largemouth Bass

If you're heading to Summerdale, Alabama, for largemouth bass, you're in for some classic southern fishing. The Tensaw River Delta, just a short drive north, is a complex network of rivers, creeks, and backwaters holding some quality bass. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged timber, lily pads, and grass beds, as these provide excellent cover. Spring and fall are prime times, with the spawn in early spring offering the chance at hooking into some real lunkers. Summer can still be productive, especially early mornings and late evenings. For access, consider using the boat ramps along the Mobile River or exploring smaller creeks by kayak. A local tip: the bass in the Delta can be finicky, so experiment with different lure presentations and colors. Don't be afraid to throw a topwater frog or a slow-rolled spinnerbait through the vegetation. The bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes!
