Rayville, Louisiana, provides a great setting to chase Largemouth Bass. The region is dotted with numerous oxbow lakes and slow-moving bayous connected to the Ouachita River, all offering prime bass habitat. Spring and fall are peak seasons, with the spawn in spring and the pre-winter feeding frenzy in the fall. Look for bass holding near structure like submerged logs, lily pads, and grass beds. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lure choices. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, opt for brighter colored lures or those with rattles to help the bass locate them. The bass in these waters tend to be healthy and aggressive, offering exciting fights. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Ouachita River and associated waterways. Be mindful of shallow water and submerged obstacles, especially in the smaller bayous.
