Largemouth Bass

Bunn, North Carolina, while not necessarily known as a bass fishing mecca, offers several smaller lakes and ponds that hold decent populations of Largemouth Bass. These often-overlooked waters can provide surprisingly good fishing, especially if you're looking for a more secluded experience. Spring is the prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Look for bedding areas in the backs of coves and near vegetation. Summer can be good too, particularly early morning and late evening when the fish are more active. Local anglers often find success with plastic worms and spinnerbaits. Many of the ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Public access can be found at nearby larger reservoirs like Falls Lake or Lake Gaston, though these are a bit of a drive. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lures and presentations.
