Largemouth Bass
Hammond, Indiana, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, particularly within the waterways connected to Lake Michigan. The Calumet River and its associated canals and lagoons are prime locations. These areas provide a mix of cover, from docks and vegetation to submerged structure, creating ideal habitat for bass. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as the bass move into shallow waters to spawn. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics worked around cover are effective. Don't overlook the Wolf Lake area either; it provides ample shoreline access and opportunities for both boat and bank fishing. A local tip: water clarity can be variable, so having a selection of lures in different colors is crucial. Also, be mindful of the industrial history of the area, and check local advisories regarding fish consumption.
