Prepare for Bass Season at Slowen Outdoors

We’re just a few short weeks away from another exciting bass season in Michigan. Starting on May 24th, anglers throughout the state will be hitting their favorite spots and casting in the hopes of catching both largemouth and smallmouth bass for sport or for dinner. If you plan on hitting the lake for some bass fishing in Michigan, here are some things to consider before heading out.

Renew Your Fishing License

First and foremost, you need to make sure that your license is up-to-date and you are legal to cast a lure into the water. This can be done easily online at the Michigan DNR Website.

Inspect Your Fishing Gear

Michigan bass can be aggressive in the spring, so you should take measures to replace old fishing line, cleaning and oiling your fishing reels, checking your fishing rods for cracks, and make sure you have the right fishing tackle. If you need any new gear, stop on in the Slowen Outdoors and get everything you need.

Get Your Boat Ready

Whether you are hitting an inland lake or one of the Great Lakes that surrounds us, you need to make sure your boat is ready by testing the battery, check your bilge pump and electronics, inspect your trailer, and update your registration, if necessary.
