Largemouth Bass

Beaumont, Mississippi, nestled in the heart of the state, provides access to some fantastic largemouth bass fishing. The Leaf River and its tributaries offer diverse habitat, from slow-moving backwaters to faster-flowing sections with plenty of cover. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also be productive as they feed heavily before winter. Target areas with submerged timber, lily pads, and creek channels. Topwater lures can be especially effective in the early morning and late evening. A local tip is to explore the smaller, less-pressured creeks that feed into the Leaf River; these often hold some surprisingly large fish. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out.
