Top 3 Lures for Largemouth Bass Fishing in a North Carolina August

---

Crankbait

Square-bill or mid-diving, 6–10 ft depth

Great for probing isolated brush and stumps where bass congregate in August.

Popular colors like chartreuse, blue‑pearl, or green‑pearl for visibility.

These are ideal for covering open water or fishing along structure edges in clear Piedmont reservoirs.

FishUSA has a ton of options for ya.

Spinnerbait

Excellent for covered or stained water in August; their vibration and flash draw reaction strikes.

Use tandem-blade spinnerbaits (Willowleaf + Colorado) in shad or crawfish colors.

The Bizz Blades from Bizz Baits have performed well in Eastern NC waters, especially in darker or brackish conditions.

Soft Plastic Worms

Texas-rigged worms in green‑pumpkin, black/blue or Redbug shades are ideal for flipping through brush or weed edges in hot weather

Wacky-rigged Senko baits flutter enticingly on fall and are effective even in clear water or finicky conditions.

I recommend the Sassy Sticks from Bizz Baits.
