Spotted Bass
If you're chasing spotted bass in north-central Alabama, the waterways around Nectar offer some exciting opportunities. The Locust Fork River, part of the Black Warrior River system, is a prime spot. Its rocky shoals and deep pools provide ideal habitat. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Look for them near submerged timber and rocky outcroppings. A local tip: try using a Carolina rig with a lizard or a small crankbait to entice strikes. Public access is available at several bridge crossings along the Locust Fork, but be mindful of private property. Spotted bass in this area can be quite aggressive, offering a good fight for their size. Don't be surprised if you hook into a few largemouth bass as well!
