Bethlehem, Georgia, is a great location to find quality Largemouth Bass fishing in a classic southern setting. The numerous ponds and smaller lakes in the area offer excellent opportunities, with many holding surprisingly large fish. Spring is the prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they feed up before winter. Look for lily pads, submerged timber, and docks – classic largemouth habitat. A plastic worm or a spinnerbait worked around these areas can be deadly. Many of these ponds are on private property, so always seek permission before fishing. Local tip: Pay close attention to water clarity. In stained water, try using darker-colored lures or lures with rattles to attract attention.
