Spotted Bass
If you're after Spotted Bass near Buckeye, Arizona, your best bet is heading to Lake Pleasant. While not as abundant as largemouth, spotted bass offer a unique challenge. Lake Pleasant’s rocky structure and submerged vegetation provide ideal habitat. Focus your efforts around steep, rocky banks, submerged ledges, and points. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, as they move shallower to feed. Downsizing your presentation can be key; try using smaller jigs, finesse worms on a drop-shot rig, or small crankbaits. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as spots tend to prefer clearer water than largemouth. The northern coves of Lake Pleasant, accessible from the north entry, often hold clearer water. Also, be prepared for deeper fishing; spotted bass are often found holding in 15-30 feet of water. Remember to check lake levels before heading out, as low water can impact boat ramp access.
