Largemouth Bass
Columbia, South Carolina, offers ample opportunities to chase largemouth bass. The Congaree River and the Saluda River, along with Lake Murray just a short drive away, are prime locations. Lake Murray, in particular, is known for its healthy largemouth population and diverse structure. Spring is the peak season, as bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also be very productive as they feed heavily before winter. A key to success on Lake Murray is to pay attention to the blueback herring spawn, which often occurs in the spring and can trigger a feeding frenzy. The bass in the Congaree and Saluda Rivers tend to be more riverine, adapting to currents and structure, so think like a river angler. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations, as there are specific size and creel limits for largemouth bass in South Carolina.
