Largemouth Bass

Snow Hill, Maryland, nestled on the banks of the Pocomoke River, provides a classic Eastern Shore setting for largemouth bass fishing. The tidal Pocomoke, with its cypress-lined banks and abundant submerged vegetation, is prime bass habitat. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, as bass move into shallower waters to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on working the edges of lily pads, fallen trees, and other shoreline cover with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. Topwater lures can also be effective, especially during low-light conditions. Public boat ramps provide easy access to the river. The Pocomoke is known for its dark, tannin-stained water, so using lures with contrasting colors can help bass locate them. Bass in the Pocomoke are generally healthy and average in size, with the potential for larger fish. Be sure to consult the Maryland DNR website for current regulations and creel limits.
