Largemouth Bass

Largemouth Bass fishing near Cave Springs, Arkansas, is centered around the numerous lakes and ponds dotting the Ozark foothills. These waters offer a variety of habitats, from clear, rocky shorelines to weed-choked backwaters. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as bass are actively feeding and moving into shallower areas. In the spring, focus on pre-spawn and spawning bass in the shallows. During the fall, target schooling bass chasing shad. A practical tip is to use a variety of lures to match the conditions and the bass's preferences. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective. Check out Lake Bella Vista or Lake Ann for good public access and boat ramps.

Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
