Spotted Bass
Spotted bass aren't the primary target around Hidden Hills, but they can be found in some of the same private lakes and ponds that hold largemouth. Because access is almost exclusively limited to private waters, securing permission is paramount. Spotted bass in these smaller systems tend to relate more to rocky structure and deeper water than largemouth, so focus your efforts accordingly. Late spring and early fall are good times to target spots, as they become more active with the changing water temperatures. Downsizing your lures and line can be beneficial, as spotted bass can be more line-shy than largemouth. Try using smaller jigs, drop-shot rigs, or finesse worms fished slowly along the bottom. These fish aren't known for their size in these locations, so a more subtle approach can make a big difference. Remember to check local regulations regarding catch limits and any restrictions on private waters before fishing.
