Saint Louis, MO Largemouth Bass Baits
Conditions: boat, morning
For largemouth bass on a Missouri lake in the early morning from a boat, focus on topwater and reaction baits during low-light hours, then transition to swimbaits and finesse presentations as the sun rises. Start with buzzbaits and walking baits on the surface, then move to spinnerbaits and crankbaits along shallow cover. Finesse soft plastics like Senkos and ChatterBaits round out the spread for mid-morning.
