Spotted Bass
If spotted bass are on your mind, Grannis, Arkansas offers some surprisingly good fishing in the Cossatot River. This river's rocky shoals and clearer water provide ideal habitat for spotted bass, sometimes called 'spots'. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the fish are actively feeding to prepare for spawning or winter. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as rocks, ledges, and submerged timber. A key local tip is to use lighter tackle than you might for largemouth – spotted bass aren't usually as big, and they can be line-shy in the clearer water. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective. Public access to the Cossatot River is available at several points along Highway 4 and County Road 279, but be prepared for some walking. The spotted bass here can be aggressive, making for exciting fishing.
