Spotted Bass
Evening Shade, Arkansas, might be a small town, but it's surrounded by some great spotted bass fishing locations. The nearby Strawberry River is a popular spot known for its clear, cool waters and rocky structure, perfect for spotted bass. Spring and fall are the prime times to target these fish, as they become more active with the moderate temperatures. Look for them around submerged logs, rocky outcroppings, and areas with current breaks. A local's secret? Try using smaller crankbaits or spinnerbaits that mimic the local forage. Access to the Strawberry River is available at several public access points, but be prepared for some wading as some of the best spots are only reachable on foot. The spotted bass in this area tend to be feisty fighters, so be ready for a good battle!
