Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in eastern South Dakota, the lakes around Castlewood offer some solid opportunities. Lake Poinsett, just a short drive away, is a local hotspot known for its healthy bass population. While it can get weedy in the summer, this provides excellent cover for the fish. Focus on the weed edges and drop-offs with weedless lures or topwater baits early and late in the day. Spring (late May-June) and fall (September-October) are prime times, as the bass are actively feeding. For bank access, try the public access points on the north and west sides of Lake Poinsett. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, which can affect boat ramp accessibility, so check local reports before heading out. The largemouth here tend to be football-shaped, indicating a healthy forage base of panfish and minnows.
