Largemouth Bass

While Boys Town might not be the first place that comes to mind for serious bass fishing, the area's smaller lakes and ponds can offer surprisingly good largemouth action. These smaller bodies of water warm up quickly in the spring, making for an early start to the bass season. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and any other type of structure that provides cover for bass. Topwater lures can be particularly effective during the warmer months, especially early in the morning or late in the evening. Soft plastics, such as worms and creature baits, are also reliable choices. Keep in mind that many of the ponds in and around Boys Town may have limited access or require permission to fish. Check with local authorities or landowners before casting a line. The bass in these smaller waters can be sensitive to fishing pressure, so practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
