Largemouth Bass

Norwood, Kentucky, is a fine place to chase Largemouth Bass, with numerous smaller lakes and ponds dotting the landscape. While there isn't one single, massive reservoir, the abundance of smaller water bodies means you'll often have a more intimate, less pressured fishing experience. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and any kind of structure near the banks. A Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait worked slowly will be your friend. In the summer, try fishing early mornings or late evenings when the bass are most active. Many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Local bait shops can often provide intel on which ponds are producing and which are accessible. The Largemouth Bass in these smaller waters tend to be well-fed, so don't be surprised to find some chunky fish.
