Largemouth Bass

Bude, Mississippi, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, especially if you know where to look. The area is dotted with small, private lakes and ponds, many of which hold overlooked populations of bass. While public access can be limited, the Homochitto National Forest nearby provides some opportunities for bank fishing along creeks and smaller waterways that feed into the larger Amite River system. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the bass are most active during these periods. For a local tip, try targeting submerged timber and weed lines with plastic worms or crankbaits. Focus on areas where creeks enter the main body of water, as these are often ambush points for bass. Remember to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and any specific rules for the National Forest.
