Largemouth Bass
If you're headed to Ocilla, Georgia, for largemouth bass, you're in for some classic Southern pond and river fishing. The area is dotted with smaller private ponds and access to the Alapaha River, offering diverse bass fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass are actively feeding during the spawn and pre-winter periods. Focus on the Alapaha's oxbows and backwaters, especially after a good rain, as the bass will move into these areas to feed on the abundant forage. Local tip: many of the ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. For the Alapaha, the public access point near US 82 is a good starting location. The bass in this region tend to be aggressive, so spinnerbaits and crankbaits can be very effective, especially around submerged structure.
