Largemouth Bass

Wurtland, Kentucky, nestled near the Ohio River, offers diverse largemouth bass fishing opportunities. While the river itself can hold bass, the smaller lakes and ponds in the surrounding countryside are often more productive. Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, a short drive from Wurtland, is a popular destination for bass anglers. Spring is the prime time, with bass moving into shallow coves and around spawning beds. Target these areas with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. Summer can be challenging, but fishing early and late in the day can produce results. As the water cools in the fall, bass become more active, feeding heavily before winter. A great tip is to focus on areas with submerged timber or vegetation, as these provide cover for bass and attract baitfish. Bass in this region are generally healthy and aggressive, offering a rewarding fishing experience. Check local regulations for specific lake rules and size/creel limits.
