Largemouth Bass

West Point, Georgia, and the surrounding waters of West Point Lake are a haven for Largemouth Bass anglers. This sprawling reservoir offers a diverse habitat, from shallow, grassy flats to deep, submerged timber, providing ample opportunity to target bass in various conditions. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, as bass move shallow to spawn. Target the backs of creeks and coves with spawning beds. During the summer months, focus on deeper structure such as points, humps, and creek channels. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and jigs are all effective lure choices. A local tip: Pay attention to the Chattahoochee River inflow, as this can influence water temperature and bass activity. The Georgia DNR maintains several boat ramps around the lake, providing easy access to different sections of the fishery. Remember to check the lake levels and water clarity before heading out.
