Largemouth Bass

Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, nestled along the Ohio River, offers some solid largemouth bass fishing, especially in the backwaters and creeks that feed into the main river channel. While the Ohio River itself holds bass, the smaller, calmer waters provide better habitat and less current to fight. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and rocky outcroppings. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times to target largemouth in this area, as the fish are more active during these periods. During the summer, early morning and late evening hours can be your best bet. A local tip: Pay close attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, try using lures with bright colors or strong vibrations to help the bass locate them. Anglers often have success with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms. Public access is available at various points along the Ohio River, but be mindful of private property. Local tournaments are common, so be aware of increased fishing pressure on weekends.
