Largemouth Bass

Anthonyville, Arkansas, while not a major bass fishing destination, offers some opportunities for largemouth bass anglers willing to explore. The key here is the Mississippi River and its backwaters. While the river itself can be challenging, the oxbow lakes and sloughs that branch off provide calmer, more productive habitat. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the bass are more active in cooler water. During the spring spawn, target shallow vegetation with spinnerbaits or soft plastics. In the fall, focus on structure near creek channels with crankbaits or jigs. Be aware that river conditions can change rapidly, so always check water levels and currents before heading out. A local tip: Look for areas where small creeks enter the oxbows; these areas often hold concentrations of bass feeding on baitfish.
