Seasonal Activity Chart

Largemouth Bass
Manitowoc offers surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, especially if you know where to look beyond Lake Michigan. The inland lakes and rivers connected to the Manitowoc and Little Manitowoc Rivers are the key. Focus on areas like Silver Creek and Branch River. These waterways offer diverse habitat, from weed beds and lily pads to submerged timber and rocky shorelines. Summer is peak season, as bass are actively feeding and guarding their fry. Try working topwater lures early and late in the day, switching to jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or crankbaits as the sun gets higher. The bass in these systems tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves. Access points can be limited in some areas, so research public access points and boat launches ahead of time. Be aware of current conditions, especially after heavy rainfall, as rivers can become muddy and fast-flowing.
