Largemouth Bass

Carrollton, Mississippi, provides a classic Southern backdrop for pursuing largemouth bass. The area is dotted with numerous small lakes and ponds, offering a more intimate fishing experience than larger, heavily pressured waters. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Target areas with lily pads, reeds, and submerged timber. Grenada Lake, while a bit of a drive, is a renowned bass fishery in the region and worth considering. For local ponds, try working plastic worms or spinnerbaits along the edges. A key tip for Carrollton is to fish early and late in the day, especially during the warmer months, as the bass tend to become less active during the midday heat. The bass in these smaller waters can be surprisingly aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and retrieves.
