If you're headed to Ames, Oklahoma, for largemouth bass, you'll want to focus your efforts on local hotspots like Lake McMurtry. This lake is known for its healthy bass population and diverse structure, offering plenty of opportunities for both bank and boat anglers. Spring and fall are prime times, with bass actively feeding in the shallows as water temperatures moderate. A local tip: Pay close attention to the submerged timber and rocky points, as these areas often hold bass staging to ambush prey. For bank access, the east side of the lake offers several accessible spots, but be prepared for some walking. The bass in McMurtry tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and retrieves. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits worked along the edges of weed beds can be particularly effective.
