For Largemouth Bass near Bellville, Georgia, focus your efforts on the Ogeechee River and its surrounding tributaries and ponds. The Ogeechee is a blackwater river system, known for its tannin-stained waters and abundant vegetation, which provides excellent cover for bass. Spring (March-May) is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Target lily pads, downed trees, and creek mouths with spinnerbaits, plastic worms, and topwater lures. Summer can be tougher, but early morning and late evening fishing around deeper structure can still produce. Local tip: Be aware of the strong currents in the Ogeechee River, especially after heavy rains. This can make boat control challenging, so exercise caution. The bass in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations to find what they're biting on. Expect to find a healthy population of bass in the 1-4 pound range, with the potential for larger fish.
