Spotted Bass
Clinton, Arkansas, nestled near Greers Ferry Lake, offers some fantastic spotted bass fishing. This lake is a prime location to target these hard-fighting fish. Spotted bass thrive in the clear, rocky waters and can be found around points, bluffs, and submerged timber. Spring and fall are arguably the best times to target them, as they move into shallower water to feed and spawn. During the summer, focus on deeper structure using Carolina rigs, Texas rigs, or deep-diving crankbaits. In the spring, try spinnerbaits and topwater lures in the shallows. A local tip is to pay attention to water clarity; spotted bass are more active in clear water. Good access points include the Dam Site Park and several Corps of Engineers boat ramps around the lake. The spotted bass population in Greers Ferry is healthy, and you can expect a good fight from these aggressive fish.
