Addison, IL Bass Baits
Conditions: boat, morning
For bass fishing on a boat near Addison, IL in the morning, focus on topwater and reaction baits early when low light gives bass a feeding advantage. As the sun rises, transition to swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and finesse presentations. The lakes and ponds in the greater Chicago/DuPage County area hold both largemouth and smallmouth, so covering water efficiently from the boat is key.
