Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Lake Hinkle, near Havana, Arkansas, is a solid choice for largemouth bass. Spring and fall are prime times, with the spawn in early spring and the pre-spawn and fall feeding frenzies offering the best action. Target shallow coves and points with spinnerbaits or crankbaits during these periods. During the hotter summer months, bass will move deeper, so switch to Texas-rigged worms or Carolina rigs around submerged structure like brush piles or creek channels. The lake has several public access points, including a boat ramp on the south side. Be aware that the lake can get crowded on weekends, especially during peak fishing season. Local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as it can fluctuate depending on recent rainfall. If the water is murky, opt for lures with brighter colors and strong vibrations. The bass population here is healthy, with a good mix of sizes, offering a chance to catch both quantity and quality.
