River bass fishing includes plentiful,
often cooperative bass that can be ambushed at the entrances of tidal creeks
along the southern end of the river. Largemouths can run up to 11 pounds and can
be found along wooden structure that lines the river banks. Farther north, rocks and
wooded areas hold the Suwannee bass, a feisty subspecies that patrols the
shoreline. There are also crystal-clear springs where big bass go to spawn each
year. During the usually mild winter and spring months -- especially March
and April -- the scenic river is home to some of the most dependable bass
fishing anywhere. The tidal section of the lower Suwannee, particularly
creeks and ditches from the mouth of the river north to Fowler's Bluff, is
especially popular among local bass enthusiasts. In these shallow tributaries,
bass waylay baitfish from behind abundant wooden structure, as well as lily
pads.
