Largemouth Bass

Liverpool, PA, offers some solid largemouth bass fishing opportunities in the Susquehanna River and its backwaters. Unlike some clear, deep lakes, the Susquehanna is known for its stained water and abundant cover, creating a unique environment for bass. Look for largemouth around submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and docks, especially in the quieter backwaters and sloughs. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times, particularly during the warmer months. Summer can be good, but focus on fishing during periods of cloud cover. A practical tip: use weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits to navigate the thick cover. You can launch your boat at the public access point near Liverpool, providing easy access to the river. Be mindful of the current, especially during periods of high water, and always wear a life jacket.
