Largemouth Bass

Burlington, NC, offers diverse freshwater habitats to chase largemouth bass. Lake Cammack is a popular choice, known for its healthy bass population and varied structure. Targeting submerged timber, creek channels, and riprap along the dam can be productive. Spring and fall are generally considered the best seasons, as the bass are more active in cooler water temperatures. During the summer, focus on deeper water or fish early and late in the day. For bank anglers, the Haw River offers several access points, though navigating the rocky terrain can be challenging. Local tip: soft plastics like worms and creature baits are consistently effective in this area. The largemouth in Lake Cammack tend to be relatively aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with faster retrieves and reaction baits.
