Largemouth Bass

If you're looking to tangle with some Largemouth Bass near Dimondale, Michigan, you've picked a great spot. The Grand River and its connected backwaters offer excellent bass habitat. Think structure – fallen logs, weed beds, and rocky outcroppings are key. The best time to target these bass is during the pre-spawn in late spring (May-June) and again in the fall (September-October) when they're actively feeding before winter. For bank access, try the public access points along the Grand River near Fitzgerald Park. A local tip: Bass in this area can be pressured, so try using natural-looking presentations like crawfish imitations or subtle-colored worms. The Grand River bass tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a well-placed lure is often all it takes. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for the Grand River before heading out.
