Largemouth Bass
If you're after largemouth bass near Janesville, Minnesota, look towards the area's numerous small lakes and ponds. While Janesville isn't situated on a major bass fishery, several smaller bodies of water in the surrounding area hold decent populations of largemouth. These include lakes like Elysian, Tetonka, and Sakatah. Spring and early summer are the best times to target largemouth bass, as they are spawning and actively feeding in the shallows. Focus your efforts around weed beds, docks, and other structure that provide cover for the fish. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Access to these lakes varies, with some having public boat ramps and others requiring access through private property. Be sure to obtain permission before fishing on private land. Largemouth bass in these smaller lakes tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lures and presentations to see what works best on a given day. Don't overlook the power of a simple Texas-rigged worm fished slowly along the bottom.
