Largemouth Bass
Chasing largemouth bass near Sussex, Wisconsin? You're in luck. This area is dotted with lakes and ponds that hold good populations of bass. Head over to Pewaukee Lake, a local favorite, where you'll find plenty of submerged structure, weed beds, and docks that attract largemouth. Summer is the peak season, with the pre-spawn period in late spring also producing excellent results. Consider launching from the public boat launch on the south end of the lake. During the summer months, target the edges of weed beds with topwater lures early and late in the day, then switch to jigs or Texas-rigged plastics as the sun gets higher. The bass in Pewaukee Lake can be pressured, so try experimenting with different lure colors and presentations. Also, be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Largemouth in the 3-5 pound range are common, with larger fish possible.
