Lake Michigan Fishing Report: Fall Transition Tactics for Bass
Good morning, folks. This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Michigan fishing report for Monday, November 17th, 2025.
We're looking at excellent conditions out there today. Sunrise came at 5:57 this morning, and we've got until 5:45 PM to get after them. The tidal coefficient is sitting at a solid 70, which means we're dealing with some meaningful tidal movement and currents. Your first low tide hit at 5:12 AM, and we've got a high tide at 11:28 AM with water heights around 1.5 meters. That second low tide comes in at 5:36 PM. Get out there while that morning high tide is building.
Weather-wise, we're looking at mostly sunny skies with northwest winds running 6 to 10 knots throughout the day, gusting up to 17 at times. Waves are running about a meter with 5-second periods. Temperature's hovering around 5 to 7 degrees Celsius, so dress warm.
Now, here's what's been happening on the water. We're deep into that fall transition period right now. Bass are still feeding aggressively before they lock down for winter, and you can still catch them all day with the right presentation. Recent reports show anglers are having success with deep presentations—spoons, glide baits, and big worms in the 18 to 35-foot range. Shallow work is also producing, especially around structure with wacky-rigged soft plastics.
For specifics, green pumpkin colors are absolutely crushing it. Try a green pumpkin Zoom Trick Worm on a wacky rig, or flip a three-quarter ounce jig with a matching trailer around any hydrilla you can find. If you're working deeper water, the spoon bite is hot. A Lake Fork Flutter Spoon in natural colors will get bit.
Target the secondary structure and main ledges. You can find fish as shallow as eight feet and down to 35 feet, depending on the conditions and how aggressive they're feeling.
