If you're headed to Newellton, Louisiana, in search of largemouth bass, you're in the heart of bayou country with plenty of freshwater opportunities. The Mississippi River and its oxbow lakes are the dominant features here. Lake St. Joseph is a good starting point. This oxbow lake offers a mix of shallow flats, flooded timber, and deeper channels that hold bass throughout the year. Spring and fall are typically the best times to fish, as bass are more active in moderate temperatures. During the summer, focus on early mornings and late evenings, or fish deeper structure with Carolina rigs or deep-diving crankbaits. A local tip: Be prepared for heavy cover, and bring plenty of weedless lures. Also, pay attention to water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall and river conditions.
