Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting largemouth bass near New Chicago, Indiana, you'll want to focus on the freshwater lakes and reservoirs dotting the landscape. These waters offer diverse habitats, from submerged vegetation to rocky structures, perfect for bass to thrive. Spring and fall are prime times to hit the water, as bass are actively feeding during these periods. During the spring prespawn, concentrate on shallow bays and coves where bass are staging to spawn. In the fall, look for areas where baitfish are schooling, as the bass won't be far behind. A local tip: The access to some of the smaller lakes can be limited to carry-down boats, so a kayak or canoe can be a great advantage. Pay attention to water clarity; if it's murky, opt for brighter colored lures or those with rattles to help bass locate them. The bass in this region tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what they're hitting.
