Largemouth Bass

Iron Mountain, Michigan, nestled in the Upper Peninsula, boasts numerous lakes and reservoirs teeming with largemouth bass. These waters, often surrounded by dense forests, offer a unique and scenic bass fishing experience. Lake Antoine, for example, is a popular spot known for its healthy bass population. The best time to target largemouth here is during the summer months when the water temperatures rise and the bass become more active. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive times to fish. A local tip is to focus on areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky points, as these provide excellent cover for the bass. Using Texas-rigged worms or topwater lures can be highly effective. The largemouth bass in this region tend to be relatively chunky, reflecting the healthy ecosystem and ample forage available to them.
