Largemouth Bass
Lake Sharpe, near Chamberlain, is a fantastic destination for largemouth bass anglers. This sprawling reservoir on the Missouri River offers a diverse habitat, from rocky shorelines and submerged timber to weedy bays, all ideal for bass. Spring and fall are prime times, with pre-spawn activity heating up in May and a strong fall bite as the fish fatten up before winter. Look for bass around structure near the numerous creek mouths and points along the main lake. The Big Bend Dam area can also be productive. Anglers should note that Lake Sharpe can experience significant wind and wave action, so pay close attention to the weather forecast before heading out. Public boat ramps are readily available in and around Chamberlain, making access easy. A local tip: many anglers find success using crankbaits and spinnerbaits along rocky shorelines or flipping jigs into submerged timber. The bass in Lake Sharpe can be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves.
