Largemouth Bass
Bass fishing in Orange County offers a variety of options. While you won't find sprawling wilderness lakes, several smaller reservoirs and urban ponds provide surprisingly good largemouth action. Irvine Lake, though technically a pay-to-fish lake, is a popular destination for its consistent bass fishing. Alternatively, smaller city parks often contain ponds stocked with bass. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the bass are more active during the cooler temperatures. Early mornings and late afternoons are always productive. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. In the clearer waters, use finesse techniques with smaller lures and lighter line. In stained water, opt for reaction baits like crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Many of the smaller ponds are easily accessible by bank fishing, making them ideal for a quick trip.
