Spotted Bass
If you're targeting Spotted Bass in the Ragland, Alabama area, you're in for a treat. The Coosa River, with its rocky shoals and swift currents, is prime habitat. Spotted bass thrive here, often schooling near submerged timber and rocky outcroppings. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the water temperatures are ideal for their activity. Focus your efforts during the pre-spawn in early spring and again as they feed up before winter. A key local tip: access the river via the numerous public boat ramps around Ragland, but be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains. These spots are known to hold good numbers of quality spots, and you might even hook into a largemouth or two. The Spotted Bass in the Coosa are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a fight!
