Head to the lakes and sloughs around North Bend for some excellent largemouth bass action. The Coos River estuary and associated waterways offer a unique brackish environment that supports a healthy bass population. Focus on areas with heavy cover, such as lily pads, reeds, and submerged timber. Spring and early summer are ideal times to fish, as the bass are actively spawning and feeding. A local tip: try using topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for explosive strikes. Also, don't overlook the effectiveness of flipping jigs and soft plastics into heavy cover. The largemouth bass in this area tend to be aggressive, and you can find some surprisingly large fish. Be aware of tidal fluctuations, as these can significantly impact fish location and feeding patterns. The close proximity to the coast also means weather can change quickly, so be prepared for varying conditions.
