Largemouth Bass
Benton, Louisiana is a prime location for chasing Largemouth Bass, thanks to its proximity to the Red River and numerous smaller lakes and bayous. The Red River itself offers diverse habitat, from backwater sloughs to main channel structure. Spring is the undisputed peak season, with pre-spawn and spawning activity concentrated in the shallows. Focus on areas with vegetation like hydrilla and lily pads. A practical tip is to explore the smaller oxbow lakes and bayous connected to the Red River; these often hold overlooked populations of Largemouth. These areas are best accessed by smaller boats or kayaks. The Largemouth in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and tendency to hold tight to cover, so be prepared to fish heavy cover with jigs, Texas rigs, or spinnerbaits.
