Largemouth Bass

Peak, South Carolina, nestled close to Lake Murray, is a prime location for Largemouth Bass fishing. What sets Lake Murray apart is its clear water and diverse structure, from rocky points to submerged timber. This combination makes for exciting fishing, but also requires a strategic approach. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. During the warmer summer months, focus on deeper structure and early morning or late evening topwater action. Local tip: the mid-lake area around Dreher Island State Park offers excellent access and a variety of fishing opportunities. Consider using Carolina rigs, crankbaits, and topwater lures depending on the season and water conditions. The Largemouth population in Lake Murray is healthy, with a good mix of size classes. Expect to catch plenty of fish in the 2-4 pound range, with the potential for larger specimens. Be sure to check the lake's water levels before your trip, as they can fluctuate and affect fish behavior.
