Largemouth Bass

Canton, Kansas, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing in its many ponds and small lakes. Spring and fall are definitely the peak seasons. In spring, focus on shallow, weedy areas where bass are spawning. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective choices. Fall finds the bass feeding aggressively before winter, so topwater lures and jerkbaits can produce explosive strikes. A local tip: Many of the ponds are on private land, so always ask for permission before fishing. Also, pay attention to water clarity, as bass in clearer water tend to be more selective. The largemouth bass in the Canton area tend to be relatively aggressive, making for exciting fishing. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and techniques to find what they're hitting on any given day.
