Largemouth Bass

Aragon, Georgia, provides a classic small-town atmosphere with access to some quality largemouth bass fishing in the surrounding ponds, lakes, and rivers of Polk County. While no single waterbody dominates the scene, the smaller lakes and ponds offer consistent action. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Look for largemouth in any available cover such as docks, laydowns, and weed edges. Plastics like worms and creature baits are always productive, but don't overlook topwater lures early and late in the day. A local's secret? Many of the smaller, unnamed ponds hold surprisingly large bass that see very little pressure. Be sure to ask locals for tips and always respect private property. Remember to check the Georgia Department of Natural Resources website for fishing regulations specific to the waterbody you plan to fish.
