Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Bucklin, Missouri, for largemouth bass, you'll find a variety of smaller lakes and ponds that hold some surprisingly good fish. These aren't trophy factories, but they offer consistent action, especially if you focus on structure. The best time to target these bass is during the spring spawning season, when they move into the shallows. Early morning and late evening are prime times, especially during the warmer months. One local tip is to check out the smaller, lesser-known ponds off the beaten path; you'll often find less fishing pressure. Many of these ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. Focus on areas with submerged timber, weed lines, or rocky outcroppings. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures, from crankbaits to plastic worms, can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what the fish are responding to on any given day.
