Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing around Spencer, South Dakota, can be surprisingly good in the smaller lakes and ponds that dot the landscape. These often-overlooked waters can hold some real lunkers. Look for farm ponds and smaller public lakes; these receive less pressure than the larger reservoirs. Spring and early summer are fantastic, as the bass are shallow and actively feeding. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and shallow-diving crankbaits are excellent choices. As the water warms, switch to Texas-rigged worms, jigs, and Carolina rigs to target bass in deeper water and around structure. Many of these smaller lakes lack developed boat ramps, so a small boat or kayak is ideal. Be respectful of private property and obtain permission before fishing on private land. A local tip: focus on areas with weed edges and submerged timber. Also, keep an eye out for any local fishing tournaments, as that can indicate where the bass are biting. South Dakota's Game, Fish and Parks website is a great resource for finding public access points.
