Largemouth Bass

Grantsboro, NC, offers some fantastic largemouth bass fishing, particularly in the Trent River and its surrounding creeks. This area is characterized by brackish water and abundant vegetation, creating ideal habitat for bass. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. Focus on areas with lily pads, submerged timber, or grass beds. A local tip is to use weedless lures, such as Texas-rigged worms or frogs, to navigate the thick vegetation. The bass in this area tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and lure colors. Keep an eye on the tide, as it can significantly impact bass activity. Fishing during periods of moving water often yields the best results. The Trent River bass are known for their fighting ability, so be prepared for a good battle.
