Largemouth Bass
Looking for Largemouth Bass near Craig, Missouri? Focus your attention on the numerous farm ponds and small lakes scattered throughout the area. These smaller, often overlooked, bodies of water can hold surprisingly large bass. Spring is the absolute best time, especially during the pre-spawn and spawn periods when bass are actively feeding in the shallows. Topwater lures can be incredibly effective at dawn and dusk. As the water warms in summer, switch to deeper-diving crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms around submerged structure. A local's secret is to target ponds that have limited fishing pressure; these often hold the biggest fish. Remember to always ask for permission before fishing on private land. The bass in this region are generally healthy and aggressive, providing for some memorable fishing experiences.
