Largemouth Bass

Salisbury, Maryland, offers ample opportunities for Largemouth Bass fishing, particularly in the Wicomico River and its associated ponds and creeks. The river's tidal influence creates a dynamic environment, with bass often holding near structure like docks, lily pads, and fallen timber. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, as the bass are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or overwintering. The upper reaches of the Wicomico, closer to Salisbury, tend to hold more freshwater species like largemouth. A good access point is the Schumaker Landing, offering boat ramp access to the river. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits and plastic worms worked along the edges of vegetation. The Wicomico River bass population is known for its good numbers of fish in the 2-4 pound range, with larger specimens possible. Be mindful of tidal fluctuations, as they can significantly impact bass location and feeding patterns.
