Largemouth Bass

Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, offers some decent largemouth bass fishing opportunities, primarily in the smaller lakes and ponds dotted around the area, and in the Platte River backwaters. These smaller water bodies warm up quickly in the spring, making for good pre-spawn and spawning action. Look for submerged vegetation and structure, which provide cover for the bass. Summer can be tougher due to weed growth, but topwater lures early and late in the day can be effective. Fall is another prime time as the bass fatten up for winter. A public access point near the Platte River offers bank fishing and small boat launching. Local advice: focus on the smaller, less pressured ponds for the best results. Worms and jigs tend to be reliable choices in these waters.
