Largemouth Bass
Lowell, Massachusetts, might be known for its industrial history, but it also boasts some decent largemouth bass fishing. The Merrimack River, along with the Concord River, offers a variety of habitat that bass love, from rocky shorelines to weed beds and submerged timber. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target bass here, as they're actively feeding before and after the summer heat. Look for them around drop-offs and near structure. One practical tip for fishing the Merrimack in Lowell is to pay attention to water flow. The river can experience fluctuations due to dam releases upstream, which can affect bass behavior. The Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest offers access to the Merrimack and some smaller ponds. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits and crankbaits worked along the edges of weed lines, or with soft plastics rigged Texas-style around submerged cover.
