Largemouth Bass
If you're after largemouth bass in northeastern North Carolina, Conway presents a great base for exploring the region's diverse freshwater fisheries. The Meherrin River and numerous surrounding millponds and lakes offer varied bass habitat. Spring and fall are prime times, with bass actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. During the spring, target shallow, weedy areas with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, or soft plastics. In the fall, focus on points and drop-offs with deeper-diving lures. A key to success here is understanding the water levels, which can fluctuate significantly, particularly in the river. Local anglers often use online resources to monitor river gauges. Launching a boat is easiest from the public ramp on the Meherrin River, but explore smaller lakes for more secluded fishing. The largemouth population is healthy, with opportunities for catching both numbers of fish and the occasional trophy.
