Location-Driven Largemouths

  In my region, the spring season is short and condensed, lasting from ice-out through spawn. Its duration varies each year, as it relates to both.

The Spring Playbook for Largemouths

  Spring offers early season largemouth opportunities and a bevy of shallow water action. Largemouths awaken quickly from their winter dormancies to feed heavily in preparation for their impending spawn. At fisheries they’ve been dialed in, their whereabouts and behavioral tendencies can be predictable. April and May will be the best two months to try

Early Season Backwaters and Ditches

  From shallow sloughs and oxbows winding off of major river systems, to the slop-choked bays and flood plains of lowland flowages, and the ditches and small creeks inletting into drainage lakes, backwaters offer unreachable populations of big largemouths that are least pursued.

Hey Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!

  Frogs are fantastic baits in heavy vegetation. Utilizing a surface-running soft plastic frog around lily pads and atop mats of slop is exhilarating as bass come out of the water to engulf the lure. The distinctive feature of frogs is that their hooks and riggings are weedless and there are no protrusions or sharp

Reptiles and Amphibians

  Opportunistic predators with voracious appetites, largemouth bass will eat whatever living creatures swim and slither atop matted weeds or across the lake’s surface. With our lakes gaining in weed cover and plant life, this spells success for anglers pursuing largemouths with reptile and amphibian baits.

Northwoods SLOP!

  Slop. Junkweed. Floating weed mats. Pad fields. Several northern largemouth waters contain these plant life overgrowths. As the summer months proceed on, plant species sprout and flourish, fed by daily sunshine and nutrients seeping into the system. Through photosynthesis, they continue to grow as summer progresses.

Rise and Shine Largemouths

  Rise and shine! Multiple alarms sound off, prompting me to get out of bed. It’s 3am, and pitch-black outside. I sleep-walk into the kitchen, and fire up the coffee pot. To wake up and get my day started, I’ll need more than just a few copious cups of high-caffeinated coffee.

Favorite Plant Species

  Across most North American waters, aquatic plant species form the foundation of healthy and flourishing underwater ecosystems. Underwater vegetation will not only protect water quality and lead to healthier habitats, but they also produce life-giving oxygen and play host to several fish species.

Tips for Bigger Summer Largemouths

  No creature is wiser, wittier, and more deceptive than a trophy largemouth bass is. Once summer peak settles in, which for me is by mid-July, my bass fishing desires and motivation revolve greatly around the whereabouts of big largemouths.
