Largemouth Bass
Targeting largemouth bass near Milwaukee means exploring the inland lakes and backwaters connected to Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee River. These fish favor areas with dense vegetation, submerged timber, and shallow, weedy bays. Summer is prime time for largemouth, as they become more active in warmer water. Focus your efforts around lily pads, weed lines, and fallen trees. A local tip: try fishing the lagoons in Milwaukee's parks. Another worthwhile spot is the Menomonee River. Topwater lures, such as frogs and buzzbaits, can be incredibly exciting in the summer, while crankbaits and spinnerbaits work well along weed edges. Milwaukee largemouth can be wary, so using stealth and making accurate casts are essential. The largemouth bass in this region are generally healthy and offer a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels.
