Largemouth Bass

East Spencer, North Carolina, while not a major bass fishing destination, offers some solid opportunities for largemouth bass anglers. The Yadkin River and its impoundments, particularly High Rock Lake (a short drive away), are your best bets. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with bass actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. During the warmer months, focus on early morning and late evening fishing. High Rock Lake is known for its stained water, so using lures with good vibration or bright colors can be advantageous. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are all effective choices. A key to success is understanding the lake's structure. Look for submerged humps, points, and creek channels. Public boat ramps are available, but can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly. The bass in High Rock Lake and the Yadkin River are generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes.
