Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Hinckley, Minnesota, revolves around the numerous lakes and flowages in Pine County. These waters offer classic bass habitat: lily pads, submerged vegetation, and woody structure. The St. Croix River, while known for other species, also holds largemouth in its backwater areas. Summer is prime time for bass, with topwater action being particularly exciting in the early morning and evening. Consider using weedless frogs or spinnerbaits in the thick vegetation. A local tip: many anglers overlook the smaller, less-publicized lakes, which can hold surprisingly good populations of bass. Be sure to check lake maps for public access points. The bass population in this region is healthy, with fish averaging 2-4 pounds and the occasional lunker exceeding 5 pounds. Focus on areas with heavy cover for the best results.
