Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing largemouth bass in South Dakota, don't overlook the smaller lakes around Wetonka. These prairie potholes, often teeming with life, offer a surprisingly productive bass fishery. What makes Wetonka unique is the relatively shallow, weedy nature of the lakes. This means bass are often ambush predators, lying in wait amongst the vegetation. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Topwater lures, such as frogs or buzzbaits, can be incredibly effective in the thick cover. Alternatively, try flipping jigs or Texas-rigged worms into the weed pockets. A key local tip is to pay attention to wind direction. Bass often congregate on the windward side of the lake, where food is concentrated. Public access is generally good, but be mindful of private land boundaries. The bass in these waters are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for some exciting action!
