Largemouth Bass
Brant Lake in South Dakota is a fantastic destination for Largemouth Bass fishing, offering clear water and diverse structure. The lake is known for its healthy bass population and consistent fishing. The best time to target largemouth is during the spring spawning season, when they move into the shallows, or during the fall as they fatten up for winter. Look for bass around weed beds, docks, and submerged timber. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective choices. A Texas-rigged worm or a jig worked slowly along the bottom can be deadly. Local tip: The lake has a good population of smaller bass, so consider using slightly smaller lures to increase your chances of getting bites. Also, the south end of the lake tends to hold more vegetation, which can be a prime location for bass. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly on Brant Lake. The clear water can make bass spooky, so long casts and stealth are key.
