Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, offer a fun alternative to largemouth around Twin Groves. While largemouth get most of the attention, spotted bass are present in good numbers in many of the same waterways. They tend to prefer slightly cooler, clearer water and are often found around rocky points and bluffs. Look for them in Lake Bennett and the creeks that feed into it. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are all effective lures. Unlike largemouth, spotted bass often stay active throughout the day, making them a good target even during midday hours. The pre-spawn and post-spawn periods in spring are particularly good. Spotted bass are aggressive and put up a good fight for their size. A local tip: Pay attention to the presence of crawfish; if you see them, try using crawfish-imitating lures or jigs.
