Largemouth Bass
Elko New Market provides a gateway to some excellent largemouth bass fishing in the southern Twin Cities metro area. Numerous lakes and ponds in the vicinity hold healthy populations of bucketmouths. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is arguably the best time to target them. Look for bass staging in shallow bays and around vegetation. Soft plastics like worms and creature baits are always a good choice. Summer can be productive as well, but you'll need to adjust your tactics to target bass holding in deeper water or under heavy cover. Try flipping jigs or Texas-rigged plastics around docks and weedlines. Public access is available on several lakes, but boat traffic can be heavy on weekends. A local tip: Pay attention to the wind. Bass often congregate on the windward side of lakes, where the wind pushes baitfish and stirs up the bottom.
