Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting largemouth bass near New Albany, Indiana, you'll want to focus your efforts on the smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered throughout the region, as well as the backwaters and sloughs off the Ohio River. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Look for submerged vegetation and structure near the banks. Fall can also be productive as the fish feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Many of the smaller lakes have limited or no public access, so be sure to research access points and regulations beforehand. The Ohio River offers more readily available access, but be mindful of current and boat traffic. Largemouth in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and presentations to find what the fish are biting on that day.
