Long View, North Carolina, provides anglers with several options for pursuing largemouth bass, with Lake Hickory being a popular choice. This Catawba River impoundment offers a diverse habitat, from shallow coves to deep, clear water, supporting a robust bass population. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on targeting docks, laydowns, and rocky points with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics. During the summer months, consider fishing deeper structure with Carolina rigs or Texas rigs. A local's secret: the upper reaches of Lake Hickory, near the river channel, often hold larger bass. Be aware of the boat traffic, especially on weekends, and always practice safe boating. Lake Hickory is known for its clear water, so using fluorocarbon line can improve your catch rate.
