Largemouth Bass
Bourbon, Missouri, offers some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing opportunities in its many smaller lakes and ponds. These waters, often overlooked, can hold some surprisingly large bass. Spring and fall are the best times to target these fish. During the spring spawn, focus on shallow, protected coves with visible cover. In the fall, look for bass staging near deeper water as they prepare for winter. Try using crankbaits or spinnerbaits to cover water quickly and locate active fish. A local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. The Meramec River also offers bass fishing opportunities, though they may be smaller on average. Additionally, be aware of any specific regulations for the body of water you're fishing, as some may have size or creel limits.
