Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing around Hopkins, Minnesota, centers on the numerous smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area, many of which offer surprisingly good fishing. Forget the big, crowded waters and concentrate on these hidden gems. Spring is excellent, as the bass move shallow to spawn, and fall offers a chance to catch them feeding up before winter. Look for lily pads, docks, and other structure that provide cover. A practical tip: Many of these smaller lakes don't have developed boat ramps. A small boat or kayak is ideal for getting around. Also, be aware of the local regulations regarding catch and release, as some lakes have specific rules in place. The bass in these smaller lakes tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and techniques. Topwater baits can be particularly effective during the warmer months.
