Largemouth Bass
While Crows Nest, Indiana, isn't necessarily known as a largemouth bass mecca, there are still opportunities to hook into some decent fish within a short drive. Focus your attention on the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout Marion County and the surrounding areas. These smaller, often overlooked waters can hold surprisingly good populations of largemouth. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season (May-June) when they move into shallow, protected areas to build nests. Try fishing weedlines, docks, and lily pads with spinnerbaits, plastic worms, or topwater lures. A practical tip: many of these lakes are located within parks or residential areas, so be mindful of noise levels and other recreational users. Consider using a kayak or canoe for stealthy access. While you might not find trophy-sized bass consistently, these waters offer a good chance at catching numbers of fish and enjoying a relaxing day on the water.
