Largemouth Bass

For largemouth bass enthusiasts visiting Port Huron, the key lies in exploring the less-pressured waters off the main river channel. Think canals, backwaters, and marinas connected to the St. Clair River. These areas often hold warmer water and more vegetation, attracting largemouth. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. Focus on docks, weed edges, and submerged structure. Largemouth in these areas tend to be ambush predators, so lures like spinnerbaits, Texas-rigged worms, and frogs worked around cover can trigger strikes. The Clinton River Spillway, just south of Port Huron, is another good area to check, offering a mix of cover and calmer water. Be mindful of boat traffic in the canals and marinas, and always practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
