Largemouth Bass

If you're looking for largemouth bass in Maryland, Havre de Grace offers a unique opportunity to target them in the tidal influenced waters of the Susquehanna River and the northern Chesapeake Bay. This area is a transition zone, providing diverse habitat from submerged aquatic vegetation to rocky shorelines and muddy flats. Spring and fall are prime times, as bass move into shallower waters to spawn or feed before winter. A great access point is the Susquehanna State Park boat ramp, offering easy access to the river. Be aware of the tidal currents, as they can significantly impact bass location and feeding patterns. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as points and submerged structure. Local anglers often have success with crankbaits and spinnerbaits worked along weed edges or jigging around deeper structure. The bass in this area tend to be hefty, benefitting from the rich forage base.
