Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Highmore, South Dakota, focus your attention on the numerous small lakes and ponds that dot the landscape. Many of these are privately owned, so always seek permission before fishing. However, there are a few public access options, including some smaller state-managed lakes. The key to success is understanding the seasonal patterns. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn. Target areas with emergent vegetation or submerged cover. Summer can be tougher, as the fish move deeper to escape the heat. Try fishing early and late in the day, focusing on shaded areas. A local tip is to use weedless lures, as many of these lakes have thick vegetation. Plastics like Texas-rigged worms or frogs are excellent choices. The largemouth bass in this region tend to be a bit smaller on average compared to other areas, but there are still opportunities to catch quality fish, especially if you're willing to explore and find those hidden gems.
