Largemouth Bass

Pewamo, Michigan, while a smaller town, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in its surrounding waters. The many inland lakes and connected waterways in Clinton County are prime locations. Early spring, just after ice-out, and the fall months are particularly productive. Bass are often staging near spawning areas in the spring and feeding heavily to prepare for winter in the fall. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and fallen timber, as these provide cover and ambush points for largemouth. A local tip: Check out the smaller, less-pressured lakes a bit further from town; these can hold some real hidden gems. Also, be mindful of water clarity, as Pewamo's lakes can experience algal blooms in the summer. Adjust your lure selection accordingly, opting for brighter colors or lures with strong vibrations in murkier conditions. Largemouth in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of presentations can be effective.
