Largemouth Bass in Estuaries

    A coastal river flowing into the sea will create an estuary.  
    The fresh and salt water mix together and this mixture is
    called brackish water.  Brackish water can hold all types
    of salt water fish along with largemouth bass.  Some bass
    anglers salivate at the chance of catching bass and a
    snook or a red fish on the next cast.  Estuaries can go
    very far up a river or just a short ways.  

    The salt water will travel up the river until it reaches higher elevation.  Rivers on flat terrain will have long estuaries.  The rivers that have higher
    elevations before the sea will have much shorter estuaries.  The bass in the brackish water feed on typical salt water bait fish and shellfish.  They will
    eat mullet, hearing, shrimp and crabs.  Fishing is best in brackish water during stable time periods.  The time between tidal changes usually provides
    the best fishing.
