Largemouth Bass
If you're looking to hook into some Largemouth Bass in southeastern Ohio, Marietta is a great place to start. The backwaters and sloughs off the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers offer prime habitat for these fish, especially where there's submerged timber or weed beds. Spring and fall are generally the best times, as the bass are more active during these periods. During the spawn in the spring, focus on the shallows, and in the fall, look for them to be feeding more aggressively before winter. A local tip: the Muskingum River below the dam offers consistent bass fishing, but be mindful of the current. There are several public access points along both rivers, but a small boat or kayak can open up even more opportunities. The Largemouth Bass in this region tend to be relatively healthy, with some real lunkers mixed in. Be prepared for varying water clarity depending on recent rainfall, and adjust your lure presentation accordingly.
