I've fished the entire state, & without a doubt the best Largemouth Bass Fishing is in NW Wisconsing in the Voyager Village area.  This place is basically 45 minutes west of Spooner.  Ton's of lakes, unlimited lilly pads, & as many 4,5 & some occasional 7 lb largemouth bass to entertain you.  Topwater tactics are my favorite up there.  Check this area out sometime.

is that up towards hayward? they got a bunch of smaller lakes up there which I think is pretty nice...

all Ive got is pretty much one huge *** lake with no structure..

caught some good bass on the cooter ray.  Best part is....no one else is fishing for them.

I fished Long Lake a few years ago and did really well.  It was near the Spooner Area.  I think it was just a little southeast of Spooner.  Caught a lot of bass everyday with a few pike thrown in.  Everyone else on the lake was fishing for walleye.  Didn't appear to be much pressure at all on the bass.

Been to most or all of the polk/burnett cty lake's, ever been to green lk by birch island? it's across the road from sandy lake, been bass caught out of there over 7 lb's dont know what the landing is like though, the lake is aerated also!! Mudhen is great also along with little wood and big wood too! Some 20 pound plus tournament limit's out of there too!!! If anyone is up this way drop me a pm i'd like to show you all the "little" small lake's too!!Junebugman

I agree that northern WI. has very little bass fishing pressure. I vacationed in the St. Germain area for many years, and the big thing is muskie and walleye fishing.

The Bass fishing in northern wisconsin has been getting better every year thanks to the catch & release part of the season. One of the only things the DNR has done right!

You're right, muskie and walleye are still the big thing and that's fine with me.

Hey guys, New member here. I live in Duluth and while the fishing is ok, its a good hours drive to any worth while lake. Its about the same drive to the Spooner area. I'm not looking for any top secret honey holes but I don't want to drive two hours round trip to fish a bluegill only lake:) Any tips fellas?

They've given you a ton of lakes already. The Ashland area holds some phenomenal fisheries, as does Superior. Learn to fish Superior smallies and you'll never go anywhere else. Chequamegon Bay consistently produces some of the top smallies in the world, and they do it in a BIG fashion. Don't underestimate the rivers and the reservoirs north of Duluth, either; Rice, Island, Grand, Fish, and Boulder all harbor fine populations of fish, fish that are easily had, too. If you're strictly after green fish, there are a lot of waters that are in the NW area of the Cheesehead state that are well worth it. Eau Claire lakes, Upper St Croix, and others are within driving distance for you.

I don't have a boat so where's a good spot to pinpoint the bass during the Fall and Spring for Cold Season bass fishing?

I'm dying to get to Chequamegon. I have yet to fish it but I will one day.

For largemouth, Buffalo Lake in Marquette county was a great lake for LMB. Buffalo has a few tournys on it each year. They're repairing the dam that holds the lake together and it is getting drained down back to its original creek/river size. The repairs will have the lake unfishable for 2 years. Hopefully when it's all said and done it will be restored back to an awesome bass fishery.

Here's a slob I got a couple years back from Buffalo.

Mudhen is a great lake.  Awesome topwater bite on the northside of the lake all summer long!
