I have never fished the Kansas Mined Land Wildlife Area and would appreciate if anyone with experience fishing this area could point me in the right direction.  I am planning on targeting largemouth bass, so I was curious which lakes/pits are best for bass fishing.  Also, I have never caught a Warmouth bass and was wondering if there were certain lakes/pits that included this species as well.

 

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums. I don't know about Kansas but Bluebasser can probably help you.

You can catch bass out of any of them, biggest factor is going to be are you looking for big fish or for numbers of fish?

 

Warmouth are pretty common in the pits, but they're not bass. They look very much like a green sunfish in body shape, just different coloration. They can vary from almost black, to bright gold and brown with red accents. This is a warmouth from one of the pits several years ago.

and one that I caught a couple years ago that was nearly a state record.

 

I'm not an expert on the pits by any means, but I know enough about them if you want to send me a PM I can get you pointed in the right direction.
