Largemouth Bass

Largemouth Bass

freshwater

Summit, South Carolina, offers some fantastic largemouth bass fishing, primarily thanks to its proximity to Lake Murray. This massive reservoir is renowned for its healthy bass population and diverse habitat, including submerged timber, rocky points, and grass beds. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall months can also be highly productive as they feed up before winter. For bank access, try Dreher Island State Park; it provides excellent shoreline fishing and boat ramps if you're bringing your own vessel. A local tip: pay close attention to water clarity. After heavy rains, the upper lake can get muddy, so focus on clearer water near the dam or in the clearer creeks. Lake Murray bass can be finicky, so experiment with your lure presentation and don't be afraid to try something different. Carolina rigs and crankbaits are local favorites.
