Largemouth Bass

Pollocksville, NC, nestled along the Trent River, is a sleeper for largemouth bass fishing. The Trent offers a classic coastal river experience, with cypress trees, submerged timber, and plenty of vegetation that create ideal habitat. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass are most active during these times. In the spring, focus on shallow areas near spawning beds. In the fall, target areas where baitfish are congregating. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lure choices. A local's secret is to work the edges of the cypress tree lines with a Texas-rigged worm or a jig. Be aware of the tides, as they can influence the bass's location and activity in the Trent River. Also, consider launching from the Pollocksville Town Docks for easy access to productive fishing areas.
