Smallmouth Bass
North Bay, Wisconsin, offers some fantastic Smallmouth Bass fishing in its inland lakes and rivers. The waters of Green Bay itself also hold good numbers of smallies. Look to areas with rocky structure, submerged timber, and weed edges. The best time to target Smallmouth Bass is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus on the pre-spawn period in late spring when the fish are actively feeding. A local tip: Smallmouth Bass in this area are particularly fond of crayfish imitations. Try using crankbaits or jigs that mimic these crustaceans. Another great option is to fish topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening. Access to many of these areas is available through public boat launches and shoreline access points. The Smallmouth Bass in North Bay are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights, making for an exciting angling experience.
