Largemouth Bass
Ferrysburg, Michigan, nestled near the Grand River and Lake Michigan, offers unique largemouth bass fishing opportunities. The Grand River's backwaters and connected lakes provide excellent habitat. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and fallen trees. Spring (late May-June) is an excellent time to target bass as they move into shallow waters to spawn in these protected areas. The fall months can also be productive as bass feed heavily before winter. A local tip: the Grand River is subject to fluctuating water levels, so be sure to check conditions before heading out. The North Shore and Coast Guard Park offer good access points for shore fishing, while several boat launches along the river provide access for boaters. The bass population in this area is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes. Consider using weedless lures and techniques to navigate the heavy vegetation.
