Largemouth Bass

If you're targeting Largemouth Bass near Brunswick, Nebraska, you'll want to focus on the area's smaller lakes, ponds, and slow-moving stretches of the Elkhorn River. These backwater areas provide the cover and warmer water bass prefer. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Fall can also be productive as they feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always get permission before fishing. Look for submerged timber, weed beds, and lily pads – these are all likely bass hangouts. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all good choices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to see what triggers a strike. The Largemouth population here isn’t known for trophy sizes, but you can still find some quality fish by focusing on areas with less fishing pressure.
