Largemouth Bass

Colerain, NC, situated near the Albemarle Sound, provides a unique environment for largemouth bass fishing. The brackish waters of the Chowan River and its tributaries offer a different experience compared to inland lakes. Here, you'll find bass that are often more aggressive and willing to strike a variety of lures. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass move into shallower waters to spawn and feed. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are effective choices for covering water quickly. As the water warms in the summer, target shaded areas around docks and cypress trees. A local tip: pay attention to the tides, as they can significantly impact bass activity. Fishing during periods of moving water can often trigger more strikes. Public boat ramps provide access to the Chowan River, but be mindful of the strong currents and shallow areas. The largemouth bass population in the Chowan River is known for its resilience, offering anglers a chance to catch both quantity and quality fish.
