Spotted Bass
If you're looking for some hard-fighting spotted bass, Sylvan Springs, Alabama, offers some under-the-radar opportunities. While not as renowned as some other Alabama locations, the local creeks and smaller lakes hold healthy populations of these aggressive fish. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky bottoms, submerged timber, and creek channels. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they become more active during these periods. Try fishing with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or Texas-rigged worms. A local tip: many of the smaller, privately-owned lakes (with permission, of course) can hold surprisingly large spotted bass that don't see much pressure. The spotted bass here tend to be aggressive and will readily strike a variety of lures. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
