Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, known for their aggressive behavior and fondness for rocky structure, are a popular target for anglers near Lindsay, California. While largemouth bass get more attention, spotted bass thrive in the clearer, deeper waters of nearby foothill reservoirs like Lake Success or Lake Kaweah. These lakes offer ideal habitat with plenty of submerged rocks, ledges, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they move shallow to feed and spawn. A local tactic that works well is using finesse techniques like drop-shotting or shaky head rigs around rocky points and submerged timber. Also, small crankbaits and jerkbaits can be effective when retrieved along rocky banks. Remember that spotted bass tend to school, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Be sure to check the specific regulations for each reservoir, as they may differ. These fish may not get as big as largemouth, but they make up for it in fighting spirit!
