Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for some great largemouth bass fishing in southern Missouri, Phillipsburg offers access to several productive waterways. Nearby Lake Niangua and several smaller ponds and creeks hold decent populations of largemouth. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as the bass are more active in the cooler water. During the spawn in the spring, focus on shallow, protected coves. In the fall, look for bass near structure as they feed up for the winter. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. Also, the bass in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective. Try crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms to see what they're hitting. The bass in these waters aren't known for exceptional size, but you can find good numbers and enjoy a productive day on the water.
