Largemouth Bass
If you're after largemouth bass in west-central Indiana, the area around Waveland offers some decent options. Raccoon Lake (Cecil M. Harden Lake) is the main draw, a large reservoir known for its bass fishing. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target bass here, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods in the spring being particularly productive. Focus on shallow water with cover such as docks, laydowns, and weedbeds. During the summer, bass will move deeper, so try fishing points, humps, and drop-offs with crankbaits, Carolina rigs, and Texas rigs. A local tip: Pay attention to the water level, as it can fluctuate. Lower water levels can concentrate fish around remaining cover. The lake has several boat ramps, but the ones on the north end tend to be less crowded. Expect to find a mix of largemouth sizes, with the potential for some quality fish.
