Largemouth Bass

French Camp, Mississippi, is a classic Southern landscape, and that means good largemouth bass fishing. The numerous ponds, small lakes, and creeks around French Camp provide ideal habitat for largemouth. While there isn't one single 'trophy' lake nearby, the consistent action across multiple smaller bodies of water makes it worthwhile. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the bass are most active during these times. Focus on shallow cover like lily pads, fallen timber, and grass lines. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective. A local tip is to explore the smaller, less-pressured ponds – you might be surprised at the quality of the bass they hold. The largemouth population in this area is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, making it a great place to hone your skills and enjoy a day on the water.
