Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
Strawberry, Arkansas, though small, provides access to some promising spotted bass fishing. The Spring River, known for its clear, cool waters, holds a healthy population of spots. These fish thrive in the rocky runs and pools of the river. Spring and fall are arguably the best times to target them, as water temperatures are more favorable and the fish are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. Consider using smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or soft plastics that mimic crawfish, a staple in their diet. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, such as logs and rock piles. Public access to the Spring River can be found at various points along Highway 58, but be aware of private land boundaries. Spotted bass in the Spring River often run smaller than largemouth, but their aggressive strikes and fight make them a fun target. A lightweight spinning rod and reel combo with 6-8 pound test line is ideal for this fishery.
