Largemouth Bass
Looking for Largemouth Bass near Ethel, Missouri? This rural area boasts several smaller lakes, ponds, and reservoirs that can offer surprisingly good bass fishing. Public access can be limited, so research ahead of time and consider smaller community lakes. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the bass are more active in cooler water temperatures. During the spawn, target shallow, protected areas with visible nests. In the heat of summer, focus on deeper water near structure. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A local tactic: many of the smaller ponds are heavily vegetated, so weedless presentations like Texas-rigged worms or frogs are essential. Also, be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. These smaller waters often hold some overlooked lunkers!
