Largemouth Bass
The bayous and waterways surrounding Shreveport, Louisiana, offer fantastic opportunities for largemouth bass. Caddo Lake, in particular, is a legendary bass fishery known for its cypress trees and abundant vegetation. Spring is an excellent time to fish as the bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can be equally productive as they fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with structure, such as lily pads, submerged logs, and grass lines. Soft plastics, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A crucial local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; in the clearer sections, use natural-colored lures, while in stained water, opt for brighter colors. The launch at Earl G. Williamson Park provides great access to Caddo Lake. Be prepared for hot and humid conditions, especially during the summer months. The bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fighting ability, making for an exciting angling experience.
