Largemouth Bass

If you're looking for some quality largemouth bass fishing in Northeast Mississippi, Tremont offers some under-the-radar opportunities. The area is dotted with small lakes and ponds, many on private land, so be sure to secure permission where necessary. However, the real gem nearby is the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. While the 'Tenn-Tom' is known for navigation, its backwaters, creeks, and submerged structure hold some surprisingly good bass. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed before winter. Focus on areas with visible cover like laydowns, stumps, and weed edges. A Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait are local favorites. A key tip: pay attention to water clarity. After heavy rains, the smaller lakes can get muddy quickly, pushing the bass into the clearer Tenn-Tom. Also, be aware of fluctuating water levels on the waterway, especially during the fall drawdown.
