Largemouth Bass

Crowder, Mississippi, nestled in the heart of the Delta, offers classic largemouth bass fishing in its numerous oxbow lakes, sloughs, and drainage ditches. These fertile waters provide abundant forage, allowing bass to grow to impressive sizes. Spring is the peak season, as bass move shallow to spawn. Look for bedding areas in protected coves and along weed lines. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this time. Summer can be tougher, but fishing early and late in the day around submerged structure can still produce results. The fall months see another surge in activity as bass feed up for the winter. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as clear water can make bass more selective. Many of the smaller lakes are accessible by boat, with several public access points around Crowder. Be mindful of shallow water and submerged vegetation.
