Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as spots, are a popular target in the creeks and rivers around Monroeville, Alabama. The Alabama River and its tributaries offer excellent habitat for these aggressive fish. Unlike largemouth, spots tend to prefer areas with current, so focus your efforts on rocky shoals, creek mouths, and areas around submerged timber in moving water. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, as they become more active during these periods. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are all effective lures. A key to success is matching your presentation to the current speed and water clarity. The Alabama River provides numerous boat ramps and access points, but be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains. Locals often have success fishing the smaller creeks that feed into the river, accessing them from bridge crossings or county roads. The spotted bass in this area are known for their hard fighting ability, often exceeding 3 pounds.
