Largemouth Bass
Just a stone's throw from Morgantown, Star City, West Virginia, provides convenient access to largemouth bass fishing in the Monongahela River. While not known as a trophy bass fishery, the Mon offers consistent action, particularly around structure like docks, bridge pilings, and fallen trees. Spring is excellent for pre-spawn and spawning bass, with fish often holding in the shallows near cover. Summer can be tougher, but early morning and late evening topwater action can be rewarding. Fall sees another surge in activity as bass fatten up for winter. A practical tip is to launch from the Morgantown Lock and Dam boat ramp and work your way upstream, targeting eddies and current breaks. The Monongahela River is a working river, so be mindful of barge traffic. Largemouth in this section tend to be relatively aggressive, and spinnerbaits and crankbaits are local favorites.
