Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass fishing around Duck, North Carolina, centers around the Currituck Sound and its associated canals and backwaters. This area is known for its shallow, grassy habitat, which provides ideal cover for largemouth. The best times to target them are spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate. Consider using weedless lures like frogs, swimbaits, or Texas-rigged worms to navigate the thick vegetation. A local tip is to focus on the edges of the grass beds and any open pockets of water. Many anglers find success fishing from kayaks or canoes, allowing access to the more secluded areas. Be aware that the water can be brackish in some areas, so using tackle that is resistant to corrosion is recommended. The bass in this area tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with faster retrieves and louder presentations.
