Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing largemouth bass in the Meta, Missouri area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the numerous smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout Osage County. These waters, often overlooked, can hold some surprisingly hefty bass. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or fatten up for the winter. For bank access, try the public areas around the smaller lakes; many offer decent fishing platforms. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. After a heavy rain, the smaller bodies of water can get muddy quickly, so be prepared to switch to darker lures or those with plenty of vibration to help the bass find your presentation. The bass in these smaller lakes tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves and lure types. Remember to check the Missouri Department of Conservation regulations for specific size and creel limits.
