Northwoods Bass Fishing Report, late July and early August, 2019

  Summer season has been a blur. July flew by, and here we are in early August. As of late, we’ve had some very good days on the water, and some poorer days on the water. This has all been relative to lake choices, preference of species, and fishing style. Smallmouth have been belligerent and

Northwoods Bass Fishing Report – End of Summer, 2018

Summer 2018 has produced the most 90 degree or hotter days, the past handful of seasons combined. Even though the heat has delivered some of the most explosive big bass fishing of the season, I’m so over it and the heat, and ready for fall to come. Winter can take its sweet time arriving this
