Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass anglers in Methuen, Massachusetts, the Merrimack River and some of its backwaters can provide decent opportunities. While the river itself can be challenging due to current, the slower-moving sections and connected ponds offer more suitable habitat. Forest Lake is another nearby option. The best time to target largemouth here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and other structure that provide cover for the fish. A practical tip: the Merrimack can experience significant water level fluctuations, so be sure to check the river conditions before you go. Also, consider using weedless lures or techniques to avoid getting snagged in the vegetation. The largemouth in this area are generally opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective, but don't be afraid to experiment to find what they're hitting on a given day.
