Yellow Bass
Baton Rouge offers a unique opportunity to target yellow bass in the diverse waterways surrounding the city. The Amite River, Comite River, and the many oxbow lakes connected to the Mississippi River provide excellent habitat. Look for yellow bass around submerged structure, such as fallen trees, pilings, and rocky areas. Spring and fall are the prime times to target these fish, as they tend to school up and feed aggressively. During the spring spawn, focus on shallow, grassy areas. In the fall, look for them chasing shad in deeper water. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A local tip: pay attention to the river levels. High water can spread the fish out and make them harder to find, while low water can concentrate them in specific areas. Also, be aware of the strong currents in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. There are numerous public boat ramps and access points along the rivers and lakes in the Baton Rouge area. The yellow bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and feisty fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
