Grand Lake O' the Cherokees near Jay, Oklahoma, is a renowned destination for largemouth bass fishing, and for good reason. This massive reservoir boasts a diverse habitat, from rocky bluffs and submerged timber to expansive weed beds and shallow coves. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, as bass move shallow to spawn. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are highly effective during this time. Summer can be productive as well, with deeper diving crankbaits and Carolina rigs working well along points and ledges. A local tip: pay attention to the thermocline, as bass will often congregate just above it. Also, be aware that Grand Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The largemouth population is healthy, with good numbers of both smaller fish and trophy-sized bass.
