Spotted Bass
Targeting spotted bass near Ashland, Alabama, can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the creeks and rivers that flow into Lake Wedowee. These feisty fish thrive in the rocky, current-rich environments. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky shoals, submerged timber, and deeper pools near rapids. Spring and fall are ideal times to fish for spotted bass, as they become more active during these periods. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are all effective lures. A Carolina rig with a plastic worm can also produce results when fished slowly along the bottom. Access to some of the best spots requires a bit of hiking, but the seclusion and potential for good fishing make it worthwhile. Be sure to check water levels before heading out, as heavy rains can make some areas inaccessible.
