Largemouth Bass

If you're heading to Cushman, Arkansas, for largemouth bass, you're in for some classic Ozark fishing. While Cushman itself is a small town, it provides access to the Little Red River and nearby Greers Ferry Lake, both excellent largemouth fisheries. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Focus on areas with submerged timber, rocky points, and vegetation edges. A local tip: Greers Ferry can get crowded, so consider exploring the Little Red River for a more secluded experience. The river offers a mix of deep pools and shallow runs, and the bass tend to be a bit more aggressive in the current. Don't be afraid to throw crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Largemouth in this region are known for their healthy size, thanks to the abundant forage available. Remember to check the water release schedule for the Little Red River, as it can fluctuate rapidly.
