Largemouth Bass
Targeting Largemouth Bass near Duluth presents unique challenges and rewards. The stained waters of the St. Louis River estuary and nearby inland lakes like Fish Lake offer excellent habitat. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and rocky shorelines. Spring is prime time as bass move shallow to spawn, but the post-spawn period can be equally productive. As summer heats up, bass will seek cooler, deeper water, often relating to weed edges. In the fall, they'll aggressively feed before winter. A local tip: the St. Louis River can experience significant current, so heavier weights may be necessary when fishing soft plastics. Also, be aware of seasonal water level fluctuations, which can impact access to certain areas. The bass here tend to be robust and aggressive, often hitting topwater lures with explosive force.
