The 8 Best Bass Fishing Lakes in the USA

Published

A whopping 6 million Americans see themselves as fishermen or anglers. Although they are all united in a shared love for the sport, there’s a heated debate about the best places to fish in the U.S. And this is especially true for bass fishing. Sport bass angling has become something of a trend, which has spread the nation.

With competitions opening up, showcasing different lakes and bodies of water to fish on as much as they do the biggest catch that day, the argument for the best bass fishing lakes is even tighter. To let you decide for yourself, we will recommend for you some of our favorite tried and tested locations.

 

Lake Lanier, Georgia

Lake Lanier has long been considered one of the best bass fishing lakes in the southeastern U.S.

 

Lake Lanier, Georgia

Lake Lanier, or Lake Sidney Lanier, is a reservoir in Northern Georgia. It was made through the building of a dam on the Chattahoochee river to provide hydroelectricity, navigation, and flood control of the Chattahoochee River, and constant water supply for the city of Atlanta. It covers a whopping 38,000 acres and has 59 square miles of water.

It’s a great place to go fishing, with 700 miles of shoreline, and lots of beautiful little islands you can fish on. And with this much shoreline, there’s also plenty of options for angling at Lake Lanier. You can fish jerkbaits in the spring or underspins in the winter, and topwater in the summer months if you’re looking to tempt bass out from their shelters. If you’re going fishing in winter, consider investing in some ice fishing boots.

Lake Lanier has opportunities to fish for multiple species of fish, including flathead catfish, black crappie, walleye, channel catfish, rainbow trout, bluegill, green sunfish, redbreast sunfish. But most importantly for us: largemouth bass and spotted bass, and a big bass population. It’s famous amongst anglers as an excellent place to go striped bass fishing. There are lots of areas for public access for fishing from the bank of the clear lake, so this is an ideal place to go out in a bass boat.

Lake Lanier is one of the best-spotted bass fisheries east of the Mississippi, and here the bass tend to really fight when they have bitten. If you’re looking for a thrill in your game angling, then Lake Lanier might be for you. Another benefit of this location is that it’s really accessible.

Being close to Atlanta, you might even be able to fish here as a day trip. And there are also lots of amenities around the lake to make your day more enjoyable: marinas, bait stores, camping, and restaurant options abound. However, because it’s so accessible, it can get quite busy. Aim for weekday fishing if you want to avoid the rush.

 

Santee Cooper Lakes, South Carolina

The Santee Cooper Lakes in South Carolina is made up of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie. Here you’ll find some of the best freshwater fishing in the entire of the state. This is a great place to head to if you’re looking to catch yourself a largemouth bass. It’s also a stunning environment to fish in: you’re surrounded by wild, mossy trees and stunning sunsets. This is especially important considering that dusk is the perfect time to catch largemouth bass, as they’re more likely to come out from their shelters in the fading light.

Lake Marion is the largest lake in South Carolina and is even referred to by some as South Carolina’s inland sea. It’s situated in 110,000 acres of stunning river valley landscapes and former marshes. Not only is this a great place to catch a largemouth bass: you can also try your hand at catching striped bass, and white bass.

This is a great place to head to if you’re looking for really big bass. People have caught the beasts here weighing up to 20lbs! Even on a normal day, you’ll be able to catch a 5-7 pound bass, which should be more than enough to impress with your catch.

Because the waters here can be quite clear, and largemouth bass prefer murky waters or shade, you might have to downsize your gear, using floating lures of example, to tempt them from their hiding spots. For your best chance at success, we would recommend using square bill crankbaits, or floating worms and stick worms, on the Santee Cooper Lakes.

 

Campbell's Lake, Patrick, USA

The Santee Cooper Lakes in South Carolina is made up of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie and has some of the best fishing in South Carolina.

 

Lake Champlain, New York, and Vermont

Lake Champlain is a huge natural freshwater lake, located in the states of New York and Vermont, and heads up across the Canadian border into Quebec. Lake Champlain is situated in the Champlain Valley, which is the northernmost part of the Great Appalachian Valley, which goes down all the way to the south of the United States. Lake Champlain is the thirteenth largest lake in the US, measuring a whopping 490 square miles in area.

People flock to Lake Champlain to catch a variety of species, including lake trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and rock bass. This vast lake holds too many fishing possibilities to count. The Bassmaster Tournament Series consistently ranks Lake Champlain in its top 100 bass fisheries, where quantity, quality, and even scenery are important factors. And, lanked to the west by the Adirondack Mountains of New York and to the east by the Green Mountains of Vermont, you’re going to be spoilt for choice for scenery.

If you’re planning on fishing Lake Champlain, make sure you have all of the necessary documentation. Depending on which part of the lake you plan to fish, you’ll need an angler’s fishing license, from Vermont or New York. A New York State Fishing license is required to fish in South Bay, for example, and A Vermont Fishing License is required to fish in the Inland Sea, Mallett’s Bay, Missisquoi Bay and “The Gut”.

In the area, you’re bound to find largemouth and smallmouth bass. This is a great lake to head to if you’re a beginner, and want instant rewards, as you can catch a four-pound largemouth bass here with regularity. But even pro anglers find themselves flocking back here time and again. There are many spots you can target too. Anglers can fish offshore for smallmouth bass, or rock bass, or can target shallow vegetation or other potential hiding places for largemouth bass.

 

Lake Berryessa, California

Lake Berryessa is the largest lake in Napa County, California, located in the Vaca Mountains. It is home to a variety of fish, including catfish, Chinook and kokanee salmon, brown and rainbow trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass and spotted bass. And the bass grow really big here! The largemouth bass in Lake Berryessa range from about 15-20 inches, and the smallmouth and spotted bass about 12-18 inches.

Depending on the time of year, use different approaches for angling bass. In the Spring, it’s best to find bass here in the shallows, as they feed here when they are spawning. In the summer, head out at dawn or dusk, as bass are more likely to move out to the shallows in the morning and evening to feed. These shallow waters are often close to the deep, dark waters where largemouth bass rest, so many anglers choose to fish here to target both big and little bass.

For those fishing from the shore of Lake Berryessa, we would recommend starting in the inlets, like Capell Cove and Steel Canyon Inlet, and the areas next to Big and Small Islands. There aren’t many lakes where you can successfully catch three types of bass in one day, but at Lake Berryessa, there’s plenty of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass to catch.

Another consideration you should always make when going fishing is what landscape you would like to enjoy while fishing.

 

Lake Tohopekaliga, Florida

Lake Tohopekaliga, or Lake Toho, West Lake, or just Toho to locals, is the biggest lake in Osceola County, Florida. It’s smaller than some of the other bass lakes we’ve recommended at 22,700 acres and is the primary inflow of Single Creek, which originates in Orlando. It’s famous for both it’s bass catching and it’s bird watching.

It’s not just a great bass fishing spot: it’s also a beautiful location, filled with hydrilla, lily pads, other grasses, and many bird watching opportunities abound. This is one of the main reasons we’d recommend it, so you can be surrounded by beautiful, scenic nature while you fish, and really make a day of it. Not only will it be a lovely, peaceful day out fishing, it’s also not as popular amongst bass anglers, so you won’t have to be dodging the crowds. That’s especially important considering the size of the catch that you can get at Lake Toho. They regularly record catches of 10-12 pound bass. So if you want to catch yourself a biggun’, and have some quiet and reflection too, then Lake Toho could be the perfect option for you.

 

Lake Erie, Ohio, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania

Lake Erie is the fourth largest of the five Great Lakes in North America and boasts some of the best fishing. It’s a huge lake that traverses 4 US states and even goes up to Ontario in Canada. It’s the eleventh largest lake in the world, and one of the best lakes for fishing. The name of the body of water originates from the Erie people, who were a Native American people who used to live on its southern shore. It’s from the trial name which roughly means “long tail”. It has a fascinating history, which you can delve into on your fishing trip.

Because Lake Erie is so shallow, the weather conditions can rapidly change from calm to stormy. This is actually a benefit for you when you’re fishing for bass. Although it might leave you a big soggy and grumpy, fishing just before a storm is perfectly timed, as fish are likely to feel it coming and become more active. The actively changing weather can sometimes get a bit dangerous though. Watch out if you’re going boat fishing. A very thick fog can appear quickly over Lake Erie, and you don’t want to be caught out in it as this can be fatal. Make sure you take a Loran or GPS system with you.

If you’re looking to catch smallmouth bass on Lake Erie, then you’re in luck. Along most of the lake, the bottom drops off fairly quickly to a depth of about 30 feet. Here, where there are some rocky bottom areas, and drop-offs and ledges, is where most of the smallmouth bass are caught. On the east side of the City of Erie, there are more rocky areas, so this is the best area to fish for smallmouth bass. Also aim for the “cribs” off the Hammermill plant to the New York State line, and the mouths of Twelve, Fourteen and Sixteen Mile creeks.

One thing that you need to take note of when considering fishing Lake Erie, is that this isn’t the best place to go if you want to take all your catch home. Lake Erie is now classified as a “big bass” water, meaning you can only take one smallmouth bass from the waters, and it must be over 20 inches. You should check out the rules and regulations before you plan your trip, to avoid disappointment.

Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota

Mille Lacs is Minnesota’s second-largest inland lake and covers a whopping 132,516 acres. However, it’s all pretty shallow, with the maximum depth being just 42 feet. This can make perfect conditions for catching bass, as you can catch their attention with floating lures in the shallows, and tempt them to bite. There are two beautiful little islands in the center, comprising the Mille Lacs National Wildlife Refuge.

There are a couple of different options for angling for bass on Mille Lacs Lake. On all sides of the lake, you can go shallow reef top fishing for bass, which is especially useful in Spring. There’s also some deep water angling on the southern deep gravel and rocks and lots of mudflats in the north half of the lake. This is perfect for catching big bass, who like to lurk in the shadows.

Mille Lacs Lake is a great option for you if you want to catch some really gargantuan smallmouth. It’s probably the best smallmouth fishery in the states at the moment, and anglers have a really good chance of catching big fish, a 6 or 7-pound smallmouth. But if the bigger ones don’t bite, you’re more than likely to go home with a few smaller 3 or 4-pound fish.

Mille Lacs is just going to continue growing in popularity with smallmouth anglers, what with the bass tournament Elite Series smallmouth beatdown airing on television. In 2016, the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Championship was held there, with people the winner catching a mind-boggling 76 pounder!

 

Table Rock Lake, Missouri

There are great places to fish for bass all over the country. We’ve showed you options from Georgia, South Carolina, New York and Vermont, California, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, there are also great lakes for fishing bass elsewhere (for example Lake Fork) in Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, for example. In general, you’ll be able to find some of the best bass fishing in the world, all over the United States.

One lake that we haven’t reviewed here, that we would definitely recommend for beginners, is Table Rock Lake in Missouri and Arkansas. This is one of the best bass lakes for beginners, because of all the types of fishing for bass you can do, and practice here. Because it’s a very deep and clear lake, it’s the perfect spot to practice drop shots, topwater techniques and various swimbait applications. We would recommend trying out a few jigs and spinnerbaits here, to get your technique perfected.

It’s also one of the best lakes for fishing bass, because of the sheer number of bass here, making it more likely you’re going to get a good catch. This can be especially good for beginners, to motivate you to come back and learn more skills, due to the instant reward. It’s also one of the best bass fishing lakes because you can catch smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass here.

Now that you’ve discovered some of the best bass fishing lakes, it’s time to get out on the water and see what you got.

 

 

Final Verdict:

This brings us on to the considerations you should be making when you’re planning your ideal bass fishing trip. Firstly, do you want to be able to angle for a variety of bass? If so, there aren’t many lakes where you can easily catch smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass in one day, so do your research, and make sure you pick an option like Table Rock Lake. Or if you really want to fight for the catch, make sure to head to the lakes that have a high number of big, strong, healthy fish.

Another consideration should be the landscape. Although you might solely be motivated by game fishing and impressing with the size of your catch, it never hurts to be surrounded by beautiful scenery as you’re doing it. All of the lakes we have reviewed are surrounded by stunning scenery, but take your pick depending on your tastes. Do you want to go for a mountain river basin, or a lilypad covered calm lake?

So there we have it, our recommendations for the best bass fishing lakes in America. We hope you find the perfect catch.

5 Reasons Why Bass is the Most Popular Among Anglers

Published

1 year ago

on

August 1, 2023

By

From California to Maine, fishing is incomplete without bass. Bass is by far the most popular fish to catch in North America. There are even tournaments like the Bassmaster that appeal to seasoned anglers.

But why? Why is the fishing sport incomplete without bass? Why is it so popular? Well, to start with, they are so easy to catch with fishing gear such as beginner Shimano reels to catch them. 

In this post, we’re about to outline the top 7 reasons bass fishing is so popular.

Bass is Widely Available

Out of the 50 states in the US, bass is available in 48. That’s 96% availability! Moreover, fishermen have found populations of bass in Canada too! Logic suggests that if a product was to be popular among the general consumers, it better be widely available. The same is true when it comes to bass.

Another reason is that the bass community is a huge one. In fact, it’s one of the largest fishing communities in the world. In every city or town you go to, you can find a community around.

The best part is that the members don’t have to go far to quench their thirst for fishing. All they have to do is go to the nearest lake and bring out the reels!

It’s a Very Aggressive Fish

Yes, the aggression of the species plays a major role when hunters consider game options. Fishing is also a type of hunting, as is still believed by most people. 

Bass happens to be a very territorial and aggressive fish species. They attack everything that they think is alive and in their territory. This makes it relatively easy to fish for bass, as they’ll attack the lure as soon as they spot it.

However, the same aggression makes it hard for new anglers to land the fish. Just because you hook it doesn’t mean you’re going to land it. It’s very possible that the fish breaks the line during the pull-in.

Bass is Available Throughout the Year

Sure, you’ll not find the fish at the same place on the lake throughout the year. And the technique you use during the summer will not work in winter. But it’s very much possible to fish for bass at any time of the year. Depending on the time, you’ll need to change your technique and visit different locations. 

Summer is statistically the most popular time to fish for bass. In the fishing world, “structure” refers to the condition of the lake bed. Bass moves to deeper water during winter to hibernate. If you manage to master fishing in the winter, you don’t even have to move your boat to catch the biggest game!

From Beginner to Pro Everyone Has Equal Opportunities

Even if you start fishing for bass recreationally, you can draw a clear path to becoming a pro. There are all kinds of training programs and tournaments that you can attend to build up your skills and compete at the top level.  

If you like traveling, this can be an amazing career opportunity too! There are different types of bass fishing tournaments that you can attend and showcase your skill. Of course, there are prizes associated with these tournaments that can change your life for the better!

There are many people who started fishing recreationally but later turned into professional anglers because they love the lifestyle so much.

It’s Easy to Find Equipment

When there are enough people interested in something, the “something” has the potential to support a full-blown economy. The same is true for bass fishing. Thanks to the massive popularity of bass, it’s easy to find all kinds of fishing tackles.

For example, if you visit the Melton Tackle website, you’ll find  all kinds of quality fishing gear , including reels, rods, hooks, and flies designed for bass fishing.

This has a very interesting looping effect. Since bass is well known, when new anglers look for a tackle, they usually find a bass tackle. This cycle continues to grow the popularity of bass fishing.

Wrapping Up

We can list hundreds of other reasons why bass is the most popular fish when it comes to fly fishing. But the ones we’ve listed are, we believe, the top reasons fueling the popularity of this freshwater fish.

If you’re new to fishing and you like the time spent outdoors, you’re in for a treat in bass fishing. Go out there, find a mentor, and start your fishing journey!

Best Tackle Box – Buying Guide

 

Important Factors When Buying A Tackle Box 

When buying a tackle box, there are multiple factors to consider. For example, size, the type of shell (hard or soft), the price, the material, and the configuration. A tackle box that is a perfect match with one angler, might be completely the wrong choice for another fishing enthusiast. Which is why it’s crucial to not just pick a tackle box with high consumer rating and fancy features, but one that actually ‘ticks the box’ for your requirements. 

Below we’ve listed the most important factors to take into account when shopping for tackle boxes, allowing you to determine which type and style will be ‘the best’ for you. Get informed about the different possibilities, and learn how to find the best tackle box for your needs by using these handy criteria:

Type of Tackle Box

Generally, tackle storage products can be divided into 3 main types: hard tackle boxes, soft tackle bags/boxes, and tackle backpacks. Each has its characteristics, and pros and cons. Let’s take a closer look at each category:

Hard Tackle Boxes

The hard tackle box is a classic choice to store your lures and bait. This trunk-style silhouette was originally a single-tray storage box made of wood or wicker but now comes in a variety of materials and configurations. The first plastic tackle boxes were created by Plano, who noticed anglers needed hard cases that didn’t rust or degrade such as wood or metal boxes did. Still a preferred material of choice, most hard-case tackle boxes are made of waterproof plastic compounds. A smart choice, as these are both lightweight and durable, plus easy to clean. 

Exterior

Most hard-shell tackle boxes have a trunk-style or suitcase-style silhouette with a handle at the top or side, and clips to lock the box. Some larger hard tackle boxes may also come with wheels, or an extendable handle for extra maneuverability. 

Interior

Though the interior configuration of hard tackle boxes differs per brand and style, most designs will feature some sort of cascading/folding trays and/or a sliding drawer. These trays or drawers come with various smaller compartments, allowing you to easily organize your favorite lures. By keeping lures and jigs in various separate compartments or levels, you can quickly locate the right piece of equipment. Plus, this storage solution also ensures your fishing gear is less likely to get tangled, or damaged, during transport. 

Soft Tackle Bags/ Soft Tackle Boxes

We’ve noticed that recently the popularity of soft tackle bags and soft-shell tackle boxes is on the rise. And it’s no surprise why these styles are becoming a go-to choice for anglers: as their portability is a big lure. 

Exterior

Soft tackle bags are often still shaped like a box/trunk, but the fabric material makes them more pliable and lightweight than plastic counterparts. The silhouette is most commonly made of nylon or polyester. Unlike hard-case tackle boxes that generally tend to only have a single handle, most soft tackle bags also come with a shoulder strap. Allowing you to easily sling it over your shoulder for extra comfort on the go.

Interior

Just like hard tackle boxes, the interior of a soft tackle bag will differ depending on the brand, size, and style. Though, as a general rule of thumb, look for a bag that has multiple compartments to keep your gear easily organized. Most soft tackle boxes will include various inner compartments and dividers, zippered pockets, and/or removable trays to comfortably store your lures, reels, and spools in one, lightweight silhouette. Some brands include removable plastic utility boxes with their soft-shell bags, which are quite similar to standard Tupperware containers. Though handy for storing tackle, these boxes don’t quite provide the same overview as tackle trays or drawers. So if a quick overview is a priority for you, a soft fishing tackle bag might not be your best choice, and we would recommend a hard tackle box instead.

Tackle Backpacks

Take a soft-shell tackle bag, add two shoulder straps, and voila: you’ve reached the final category: tackle backpacks. This style is the best of both worlds. Not only does it contain various dividers/compartments to keep your tackle safely secured, but the backpack-style silhouette makes it ideal for longer hikes or fishing trips. The added portability makes it a popular style for multi-day adventures where you have to carry your tackle over longer distances. A downside is, that just like soft-shell tackle boxes, a tackle backpack does not provide an instant overview of your gear. When opened, you’ll have to sift through the contents to locate pieces, instead of instantly seeing which tackle is where. Meaning that separate plastic containers are key to keeping your stuff organized inside the pack. 

Disclaimer: we’ve chosen not to include any fly fishing tackle gear in this overview and buying guide, such as the “Go-To” Fly Box by New Phase. As fly fishing tackle boxes only caters to a very specific fishing type/type of fish. Instead, we’ve chosen to include versatile options that accommodate a range of tackle/lures/sinkers/fishing accessories, and other saltwater and freshwater fishing gear. 

Size

When looking for the best tackle box, size is one of the most important factors. Every angler needs a design large enough to store your supplies, but size-up too much and the tackle box can be heavy and difficult to carry. It’s tempting to choose a larger option, but you may not even need all that storage space. 

Compare it to a closet for your clothes. You could buy a super large option that has enough room for all your 4-season clothing, but this will take up a lot of space and cost you a pretty penny. Or you could size down and simply alternate between your winter and summer wardrobe. The same goes for a fishing tackle box. You could buy a heavy-duty, extra-large size with dozens of storage compartments to fit all your tackle or gear. Or you could size down and simply pack it based on what gear you’ll be needing on that specific trip. If you’re going on an open-water adventure on a boat, you can leave your surf fishing lures at home. Or vice versa. 

Sometimes bigger is indeed better, but when it comes to fishing tackle boxes, we prefer a mid-sized option that is both spacious enough for fishing essentials, yet also portable enough to easily carry to our favorite fishing spot. However, the choice is of course completely up to you!

Material

The material of a tray tackle box or tackle bag depends mostly on the style. Hard-cased tackle boxes are generally made of metal or plastic, whilst soft shoulder bags and backpacks are produced of nylon or polyester fabrics. There’s not one material that reigns supreme, as each has its specific pros and cons.

Plastic is lightweight, corrosion-proof, easy to clean, and doesn’t retain odor. Metal is more durable but may be prone to rust depending on the type of metal alloy used. Fabric is even more lightweight than plastic, and its pliable qualities make it easier to compress during transport. 

Overall, there’s a simple way to ensure the material of the tackle box lives up to expectation: make sure the material is a high-grade/top-grade choice. For example: if plastic, ensure it’s BPA-free and non-toxic. If nylon, ensure its a durable variety such as ripstop nylon with a water-resistant coating. And if metal, look for a corrosion-resistant option such as stainless steel. Regardless of which material you prefer, quality is key. Check what customer reviews are saying about the durability, waterproof qualities and wear and tear of the plastic/metal/fabric, etc. And double-check the specific type of material used, as listed by the manufacturer. Yes, we know this can be a laborious process, but if you want top performance in the long-term, it does help to do your research. 

Fortunately, there is an alternative: our Best Tackle Box overview. All 5 options listed tick the box when it comes to quality and durability. With a big thumbs up from fellow angling enthusiasts. We’ve only included products that adhere to high-quality standards, to provide you with a premium selection available on Amazon that doesn’t disappoint.

​How Does a Portable Fish Finder Work? 

Even though you now know some of the best portable fish finders out there, you may still be wondering how they are actually able to detect fish and other structures underneath the surface. Portable fish finders use sonar beams to transmit sound waves. The transducer tracks how much time between when the signal is sent to when it’s returned and uses that to measure the depth of the object the sound bounced off of. 

Like with any piece of technology, fish finders can take practice to get the hang of it. If you’ve never used a fish finder before, it may be more beneficial to go for a simpler model like the Venterior VT-FF001 Portable Fish Finder or the Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4 Fishfinder. More advanced fishermen may need the Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv Series Fish Finders in order to have access to GPS and store maps for the best and their favorite fishing spots. 

All of the above fish finders have the ability to track fish location, and a lot of them have the ability to track the size and even alarm you when the desired size passes by. Ultimately, that is probably priority one when looking for a fish finder. Whether you want the extra bells and whistles is up to you. 

Final Thoughts 

Portable fish finders are great because they are designed to go anywhere your next fishing trip takes you. They don’t take up much room and are light enough to carry around. Depending on if you’re kayak fishing, shore fishing, or anything in between, you can find a portable fish finder that meets your needs. 

Aside from just finding fish, some fish finders can lead you to the best spots to get the most fishing success, so you won’t have to spend time waiting around for the fish to come to you. There are simple and more advanced models that each provide different features, so once you decide which features are most important to you, you can start enhancing your fishing experience with a portable fish finder.
