Spotted Bass
When fishing near Lead Hill, Arkansas, don't overlook the Spotted Bass in Bull Shoals Lake. While largemouth get much of the attention, Bull Shoals holds a healthy population of spots that can provide consistent action. These fish tend to prefer the deeper, clearer water and rocky structure. Spring and fall are good times, but spotted bass often remain active throughout the year. A local tactic is to target steep, rocky banks and bluffs with small crankbaits, jigs, or drop-shot rigs. These fish often school together, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Several public boat ramps around Lead Hill provide easy access to the lake. Bull Shoals spotted bass are known for their aggressive strikes and tendency to fight all the way to the boat. They are also more tolerant of colder water than largemouth, so they can be a reliable target even during the winter months.
