Largemouth Bass

Princess Anne, MD, nestled on the Eastern Shore, offers fantastic largemouth bass fishing opportunities in its tidal creeks and rivers. The Wicomico River, with its labyrinth of lily pads, submerged timber, and grassy shorelines, is a prime location. Spring and fall are the best times to target these bass as they move into the shallows to spawn or feed before winter. Summer can also be productive, especially during early morning or late evening hours. Consider using topwater lures, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics rigged weedless to navigate the heavy cover. A good access point is the public boat ramp at the end of Somerset Avenue, providing easy access to the Wicomico River. Eastern Shore bass are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs in the heavy cover, so be prepared for a fight!
