Smallmouth Bass
While Mishicot, Wisconsin, is better known for other species, you can still find smallmouth bass in the West Twin River and its confluence with Lake Michigan. This area offers a unique opportunity to target smallmouth in a riverine environment close to the Great Lakes. The best time to fish for smallmouth here is during the late spring and early summer, when the water temperatures are rising, and the fish are actively feeding after spawning. Focus on areas with rocky structure, current breaks, and deeper pools. A key access point is the river near the Highway 147 bridge, providing wading and bank fishing opportunities. Be mindful of the current, especially after rainfall. The smallmouth in this region tend to be aggressive, and can be caught using a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and tube jigs. Don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations to find what works best on any given day.
