Largemouth Bass

Mound City, Kansas, while a smaller town, puts you in close proximity to some fantastic largemouth bass fishing in the southeast region of the state. The numerous small lakes and ponds in Linn County, many on public land, are the key. These smaller bodies of water tend to warm up quickly in the spring, triggering explosive bass activity. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and creek channels. Topwater lures excel in the early morning and evening. As the water warms, switch to Texas-rigged worms, jigs, and crankbaits. Access can be a bit limited in some areas, so do your research and check for public access points before you go. Don't overlook smaller, lesser-known ponds – they often hold some real lunkers that don't see much pressure.
