Largemouth Bass

Pocomoke City offers access to some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing, particularly in the Pocomoke River and its surrounding creeks and tributaries. This area is characterized by its dark, tannin-stained water and abundant cypress trees, creating ideal habitat for bass. Spring and fall are prime times, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods offering especially good action. Focus on areas with heavy cover, such as lily pads, fallen trees, and cypress knees. Flipping and pitching soft plastics or using topwater lures around vegetation can be highly effective. A local tip: The Pocomoke River is tidal, so be mindful of the tide charts. Bass tend to be more active during moving tides, especially around creek mouths and points. Also, be prepared for some challenging fishing conditions, as the dark water can make it difficult to see your lure. Using lures with rattles or bright colors can help attract attention. The bass in the Pocomoke River are known for being aggressive and hard-fighting, making for a memorable fishing experience.
