Spotted Bass
Blue Mountain, Arkansas, offers some fantastic spotted bass fishing, particularly in Blue Mountain Lake and the upper reaches of the Ouachita River. These feisty fighters prefer rocky structure and submerged timber, so focus your efforts around these areas. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are ideal and the fish are actively feeding in preparation for spawn or winter. Consider using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or jigs worked close to the bottom. For boat access, the public ramp on the south side of the lake is a good starting point. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as spotted bass tend to be more active in clearer water. If the lake is muddy, try fishing further upstream in the river where the water is often cleaner. The spotted bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a good fight.
