Largemouth Bass
Cresbard, South Dakota, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, primarily in smaller lakes and farm ponds scattered throughout the area. These waters, often overlooked, can hold some real lunkers. The best time to target bass here is during the late spring and early summer, as the water warms and the fish move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall can also be productive as bass feed aggressively before winter. A local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Look for submerged structure and weed edges; these are prime ambush points for bass. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures, from crankbaits to plastic worms, can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment to find what they're hitting on a given day. Remember, these are natural fisheries, so catch and release is encouraged to maintain healthy populations.
