Largemouth Bass Fishing Tips

Largemouth Bass Fishing Tips

Largemouth bass are one of Ohio’s most popular fish and can be caught in ponds, streams,
rivers and nearly all inland lakes and reservoirs. Fishing methods in ponds and reservoirs
are fairly similar, whereas those in rivers and streams are not unlike methods for catching
smallmouth bass in such areas. These hardy, self-sustaining fish are plentiful among a variety
of anglers, and particularly popular among tournament fishermen.

TIPS

Fish close to cover in muddy and heavily stained water.
Retrieve perpendicular to cover.
Dark-colored baits work well in the spring and lighter colors are best in the fall.
Largemouth bass are often located close to or immediately next to cover after a strong cold front.
