Largemouth Bass
Targeting largemouth bass near Albany, Georgia? The Flint River and Lake Chehaw offer diverse habitats to explore. Spring is a fantastic time to fish, as bass are actively spawning and aggressively feeding in the shallows. As the water warms into summer, focus on deeper structure like submerged timber and creek channels. Local anglers often have success with soft plastics like worms and lizards rigged Texas-style, allowing you to navigate the heavy cover. Don't overlook topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for explosive strikes. Be aware of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate with rainfall, impacting water clarity and bass behavior. The Lake Chehaw boat ramp provides easy access to the lake's prime fishing spots.
