Largemouth Bass

Drew, Mississippi, nestled in the heart of the Delta, offers classic largemouth bass fishing in its many oxbow lakes, sloughs, and agricultural ditches. These fertile waters, often stained with tannins, provide excellent habitat for bass to grow to trophy sizes. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with vegetation, such as lily pads, hydrilla, and submerged timber. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lures. As the water warms in the summer, bass often retreat to deeper, cooler water near structure. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; in clearer water, use more natural-colored lures, while in stained water, opt for brighter colors. Many of the best fishing spots are accessible by boat, but some bank fishing opportunities exist along roadways and public access points. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
