Largemouth Bass

freshwater

Hammond, Louisiana, offers fantastic largemouth bass fishing, largely thanks to its proximity to the diverse waterways of the Tangipahoa River and surrounding bayous. The maze of canals, cypress swamps, and lily pad fields provides ideal habitat for largemouth, often resulting in hefty fish. The best times to fish here are spring (March-May) during the spawn and fall (October-November) when the temperatures cool down. Consider launching from one of the many public boat ramps along the Tangipahoa River. Local tip: Focus on fishing the edges of lily pads and cypress trees with soft plastics or spinnerbaits. The bass in this area are ambush predators, so a slow, deliberate presentation often works best. Be prepared for stained water conditions, and adjust your lure colors accordingly. Darker colors like black and blue are often productive.
