Largemouth Bass
Lake Francis Case near Platte, South Dakota, is a renowned destination for largemouth bass fishing in the state. This sprawling Missouri River reservoir offers diverse habitat, from rocky shorelines and submerged timber to expansive weed beds, all ideal for largemouth to thrive. The prime time for targeting largemouth here is during the pre-spawn (late spring) and fall months. During the pre-spawn, focus on shallow bays and coves as the fish move in to prepare for spawning. In the fall, as the water cools, largemouth will actively feed to fatten up for the winter. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and jigs are all effective choices. A popular technique is flipping jigs into heavy cover. The largemouth bass in Lake Francis Case are known for their impressive size, with many fish exceeding five pounds. The Platte Creek Recreation Area offers excellent boat launch facilities and access to prime fishing areas. Be prepared for windy conditions, as the lake is exposed to the elements.
