Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Nelson, Missouri, with largemouth bass on your mind, you're likely targeting the numerous farm ponds and smaller lakes that dot the landscape. These smaller, often overlooked waters can hold some surprisingly hefty bass. Spring (April-May) is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn, making them aggressive and easier to target with lures like spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Fall (September-October) is also excellent, as they feed heavily before winter. A local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or fallen timber, as these provide excellent cover for largemouth. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations until you find what they're hitting.
