Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Collins, Missouri, Truman Lake is the place to be. This massive reservoir offers a diverse range of habitat, from flooded timber and creek channels to rocky bluffs and expansive flats. Spring is prime time, with bass moving shallow to spawn in the backs of creeks and coves. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this period. As the water warms, bass will move to deeper structure, so try fishing around submerged brush piles and ledges. A local tip: pay attention to the wind. Bass often congregate on the windward side of points and flats, where baitfish are concentrated. Truman Lake bass are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a fight! The lake can get crowded on weekends, so consider fishing during the week for a less pressured experience. There are numerous boat ramps around the lake, providing easy access to different areas.
