Local Species Insights: Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass in the Kaleva area are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These prized gamefish thrive in our clear, cool northern Michigan waters with rocky bottoms and abundant structure. Captain Jack targets these fish using a variety of techniques depending on the season, water temperature, and weather conditions.

Spring and early summer often find smallmouth in shallower waters during the spawn, while late summer pushes them to deeper structures.
