Spotted Bass
Spotted bass thrive in the clear, rocky waters of Greers Ferry Lake near Heber Springs, Arkansas, often outcompeting their largemouth cousins in certain areas. These hard-fighting fish are a blast to catch, and Greers Ferry offers plenty of opportunities. Look for them around steep bluffs, rocky points, and submerged timber, especially in the lower lake. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as spotted bass move shallow to spawn and feed aggressively. A local tactic is to use a shaky head jig or a drop-shot rig with a finesse worm, targeting areas with scattered rock. Also, spotted bass are notorious for suspending, so don't be afraid to use your electronics to locate them and present your bait at the correct depth. The spotted bass in Greers Ferry are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, making for an exciting fishing experience.
