Largemouth Bass
If you're after largemouth bass in the Lake City, Arkansas area, you'll want to explore the St. Francis River and its associated oxbow lakes. These waters offer diverse habitat, from flooded timber to lily pads, providing ample cover for bass. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish as they are most active during these periods. In the spring, focus on shallow areas near spawning beds. During the fall, look for bass feeding on shad near creek mouths. A practical tip: Access to some of the oxbow lakes can be limited, so a small boat or kayak can be a great asset. Local anglers often have success using spinnerbaits and plastic worms. The largemouth bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for some exciting action.
