Camden, Tennessee, offers fantastic largemouth bass fishing, primarily centered around the legendary Kentucky Lake. This sprawling reservoir is known for its diverse habitat and healthy bass population. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, with pre-spawn and spawning bass moving into the shallows. Target shallow bays, points, and areas with vegetation. As the water warms, bass will move deeper, relating to ledges, humps, and submerged structure. A local tip is to focus on areas with current, as these often hold the most active fish. The Big Sandy River embayment is a particularly productive area. Popular lures include crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms. Kentucky Lake bass are known for their size, with many fish exceeding 5 pounds. Be sure to check local regulations regarding slot limits. The Humphreys County Veterans Memorial Park offers excellent boat ramp access.
