Northwoods Bass Fishing Report – End of Summer, 2018
Summer 2018 has produced the most 90 degree or hotter days, the past handful of seasons combined. Even though the heat has delivered some of the most explosive big bass fishing of the season, I'm so over it and the heat, and ready for fall to come. Winter can take its sweet time arriving this year, however. I haven't hosted trips since the first week of August due to vacations and desk work. Even though we're on a short break until after Labor Day, I'm still fishing. I recently spent a full week of fun fishing, August 10th thru 16th. First time all year I got to fun fish a full week and do things I otherwise haven't been able to do all summer. Lots of multi-species fishing, relaxation, and precious time spent in the northwoods with my sweetheart Amanda. Big fish locations and behaviors are predictable most days, and big bass are where they are supposed to be right now. Even though the water temps have been 76-82 degrees for most of the month, the big fish bite was the best it's been all summer. With great weather comes bigger and longer feeding windows, patterns that last several days, and awesome fishing.
