Largemouth Bass

Mayersville, Mississippi, sitting right on the Mississippi River Delta, is a fantastic location for largemouth bass, with the river and its oxbow lakes providing prime habitat. These backwaters and sloughs offer the perfect mix of structure, vegetation, and shallow water that largemouth love. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target bass here, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Throwing spinnerbaits or soft plastics around cypress trees and lily pads can be incredibly effective. Summer can also be productive, especially early in the morning or late in the evening. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as the river can get muddy quickly after rain. Also, gaining access to some of the oxbows can require a shallow-draft boat. The bass in this area are known to grow to impressive sizes, so be ready for a real trophy!
