Largemouth Bass

The Largemouth Bass fishing around Denham Springs, Louisiana, centers on the Amite River and its connected waterways. This area offers a diverse fishery, with both clear and stained water sections, providing different challenges and opportunities. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. However, the fall can also be excellent as they fatten up for winter. The Amite River can be accessed by boat from several public launches, but be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains. Flipping jigs and soft plastics around cypress trees and submerged structure is a productive technique. In clearer sections, try throwing crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Pay attention to the current; bass often position themselves to ambush prey. Local anglers often target the Diversion Canal connected to the Amite, particularly after rainfall washes baitfish into the area.
