Largemouth Bass

Avondale, Arizona, offers some surprisingly good Largemouth Bass fishing, especially in the various urban lakes and canals that dot the area. These man-made waterways, though not expansive, can hold some decent-sized fish. The best times to target bass here are during the spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate. During the heat of the summer, focus on early mornings or late evenings. A key local tip is to fish near structure, such as submerged trees, docks, or weed lines. Many of these areas are accessible from shore, making it a convenient option for anglers without boats. Look for public access points along the Gila River or at nearby community lakes. The bass in these urban fisheries tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics, can be effective.
