Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing around Put-in-Bay, Ohio, offers a unique island experience. While Lake Erie is known for its walleye, the protected bays and harbors around the island provide surprisingly good largemouth habitat. Look for weedy areas and docks within Put-in-Bay harbor, or explore the quieter waters of Fishermen's Wharf. The best time to target largemouth is during the late spring and early summer spawning season, as well as the fall as they fatten up for winter. A key tip is to fish during periods of calm winds, as the water can become quite choppy, making it difficult to present lures effectively. Soft plastics like senkos and creature baits worked slowly around cover are always productive. Also, don't be afraid to try topwater frogs or buzzbaits in the weedy areas. The largemouth here tend to be chunky due to the abundant forage, and you might even hook into some bonus smallmouth while you're at it. Be sure to check Ohio fishing regulations for Lake Erie before heading out.
