Largemouth Bass

Walled Lake, true to its name, is a prime location in Oakland County for largemouth bass. This relatively shallow lake boasts abundant weed beds and lily pads, creating ideal habitat for bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the pre-spawn in late spring (May) and again in the fall (September-October) when they're actively feeding. During the summer months, focus on fishing early mornings or late evenings to avoid the midday heat and boat traffic. A popular technique is flipping and pitching soft plastics into the heavy cover. The lake's public access point can get busy, especially on weekends, so arriving early is advised. Consider using a weedless presentation to navigate the thick vegetation. The bass in Walled Lake tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and retrieves.
