Largemouth Bass

Just north of Nashville, largemouth bass fishing near Cedar Hill, Tennessee, offers a blend of both river and lake opportunities. The nearby Cumberland River and the impoundments along it, like Old Hickory Lake, provide diverse options for anglers. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to target bass, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, rocky points, and weed beds. Old Hickory is known for its healthy population of largemouth, and targeting creek channels and deeper structure can be key to success. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as the Cumberland River can experience fluctuations due to rainfall. During periods of higher water, focus on the edges of flooded vegetation. Texas-rigged worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lure choices, but don't be afraid to experiment to find what the bass are keying on. The bass in this area are generally healthy and aggressive, providing a rewarding fishing experience.
