Largemouth Bass
If you're headed to Edgerton, Wisconsin in search of Largemouth Bass, you're in for a treat! Lake Koshkonong, just a short drive away, is a renowned bass fishery. What makes this area special is the diverse habitat – think shallow weed beds, lily pads, and submerged timber – perfect for bass ambushing prey. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or fatten up for winter. During the summer months, focus on early mornings and late evenings to beat the heat. A local tip: try fishing the weed lines with Texas-rigged plastics or spinnerbaits. The bass here tend to be aggressive, but don't be afraid to downsize your presentation if they're finicky. Access to Lake Koshkonong is available through several public boat launches around the lake. Be aware that the lake can get busy on weekends, so plan accordingly. Also, check the local fishing reports for any weed growth updates, as it can vary year to year and affect your lure selection.
