Largemouth Bass

Millington, located closer to the Eastern Shore, offers excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in the numerous tidal creeks and rivers that feed into the Chesapeake Bay. The Chester River and its tributaries are prime locations. These waterways are characterized by shallow, weedy flats and abundant submerged structure, creating ideal habitat for largemouth. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as bass move into the shallows to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Summer can also be productive, especially early in the morning or late in the evening. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lures. A local tip is to pay attention to the tides, as bass often position themselves near points or creek mouths to ambush prey as the tide changes. Public boat ramps are available in Millington, providing easy access to the Chester River. Be mindful of submerged timber and shallow water, especially during low tide.
