Largemouth Bass

Looking for largemouth bass near South Congaree, SC? You'll want to focus your attention on the nearby Congaree River and its backwater sloughs, as well as local ponds and lakes. These waters offer diverse habitats, from submerged timber to lily pads, providing ample cover for bass. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as bass are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. During the warmer months, target early morning or late evening hours to avoid the heat and find more active fish. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits and crankbaits around structure, or soft plastics like worms and creature baits in weedier areas. A good access point is the public landing on the Congaree River off of Old State Road. Remember to check the water levels of the river, as they can fluctuate significantly and affect fishing conditions. Also, be aware of any specific regulations for the water body you're fishing.
