freshwater

Bellville, Georgia, might not be the first place that comes to mind for trophy Spotted Bass, but the Ogeechee River and its tributaries hold a healthy population. These aggressive fish thrive in the river's rocky shoals and woody cover. Spring and fall are typically the most productive seasons. Spotted Bass are known for their energetic strikes and aerial displays, making them a fun target. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, rock piles, and creek mouths. A Texas-rigged worm or a small crankbait are effective lures. For bank access, try the public areas near bridge crossings along Highway 46. Remember to check water levels before you go, as the river can rise quickly after heavy rains. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; spotted bass often prefer slightly clearer water than largemouth.
