Largemouth Bass

Camden, Arkansas, provides diverse freshwater habitats for largemouth bass anglers. The Ouachita River and nearby lakes like White Oak Lake offer a mix of structure, from submerged timber and lily pads to rocky points, creating ideal bass habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target largemouth here, as they move shallow to spawn. Focus on the backs of creeks and protected coves. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. As the water warms in summer, switch to deeper structure and fish during cooler parts of the day. A local tip: Carolina-rigged plastics or deep-diving crankbaits can be effective in the summer heat. White Oak Lake is known for its clearer water compared to the Ouachita River, so adjust your lure colors accordingly. Public boat ramps provide easy access to both the river and White Oak Lake, making it a convenient destination for bass anglers. The largemouth in this region are known for their aggressive strikes.
