Largemouth Bass

Chunky, Mississippi, may be a small town, but it's surrounded by some great largemouth bass fishing opportunities. The local rivers and creeks, along with nearby lakes and ponds, provide ample habitat for bass to thrive. Look to the Chunky River itself, and connected oxbow lakes. The warmer climate means bass fishing is productive for much of the year, but spring and fall are typically the best times to target larger fish. During the spring spawn, focus on shallow, protected areas with vegetation. In the fall, bass will be actively feeding to prepare for winter. A local tip is to use topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening, especially during the warmer months. Also, don't overlook fishing around docks, fallen trees, and other submerged structure. The largemouth bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and can reach impressive sizes. Remember to check the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks regulations for any specific rules or restrictions on the waters you plan to fish.
