Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass anglers heading to Gayville, South Dakota, should focus their attention on the backwaters and sloughs associated with the Missouri River. These areas offer the kind of structure and cover that bass love. Spring and early summer are prime times, as bass move into the shallows to spawn. Look for weedlines, flooded timber, and lily pads. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective lure choices. A local tip is to pay attention to water levels in the Missouri River. When the river is high, it can flood into these backwaters, creating even more habitat for bass. However, it can also make access more difficult. Check river levels and access points before heading out. The largemouth bass in this area tend to be relatively thick-bodied due to the abundant forage available. Don't be surprised to hook into some quality fish.
