Largemouth Bass
Hendersonville, nestled in the western part of North Carolina, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing within a reasonable drive. While not as famous as some of the larger reservoirs in the eastern part of the state, the smaller lakes and ponds in the area can provide consistent action. Lake Julian, for instance, is a popular spot for local anglers. Spring is an ideal time to target largemouth as they move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or structure. Soft plastics like worms and creature baits are effective, as are spinnerbaits worked along the edges of weed beds. A local tip: many of these smaller lakes have limited boat access, so a kayak or canoe can be a significant advantage. The largemouth here may not be trophy-sized giants, but they are plentiful and offer a fun day on the water.
