Chasing largemouth bass in the Richwood, Louisiana area means tapping into the productive waters of the Ouachita River and its associated bayous and oxbow lakes. These tannin-stained waterways, thick with vegetation and submerged structure, create ideal habitat for lunker bass. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also be excellent as they feed aggressively before winter. For bank access, try the areas around Cheniere Lake, known for its boat launch and accessible shoreline. A local tip: Pay attention to water levels in the Ouachita River, as fluctuations can significantly impact bass behavior and location. When the river is high, bass tend to move into the flooded backwaters, offering unique fishing opportunities. The largemouth here are known for being aggressive, so don't be afraid to throw reaction baits like spinnerbaits and crankbaits.
