Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Mercer, Missouri, and largemouth bass are on your mind, you're in for some classic Midwest fishing. Mercer is surrounded by smaller lakes, ponds, and the Grand River, all offering opportunities for bass. The key is understanding the seasonal patterns. Spring is prime time, as bass move shallow to spawn. Target weedy areas and submerged timber with spinnerbaits or soft plastics. Summer can be tougher, so fish early mornings and late evenings around deeper structure. Fall sees another surge in activity as bass feed up for winter; crankbaits and jigs excel then. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always get permission before fishing. Also, the Grand River can get muddy after heavy rains, so check conditions beforehand. The largemouth here are generally healthy, with some real lunkers lurking in the deeper holes.
