Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass enthusiasts heading to Patch Grove, Wisconsin, the Mississippi River offers excellent opportunities. This section of the river is characterized by rocky shorelines, submerged timber, and numerous wing dams, all prime habitat for smallies. The best time to target them is late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and tubes are all effective choices. Focus your efforts around current breaks and rocky structures. A local tip: Explore the area around the wing dams near Cassville; these structures concentrate current and provide ambush points for smallmouth. Be sure to bring polarized sunglasses to help spot fish and underwater structure. The smallmouth here are known for their aggressive strikes and hard fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle!
