Spotted Bass
Carnesville, Georgia, offers anglers a chance to chase Spotted Bass in a few different types of waterways. Lake Hartwell, a short drive away, holds a healthy population of spots. These fish thrive in the lake's rocky structure and clear waters. Spring and fall are ideal times to target them, as they move shallower to feed. Focus on points, humps, and rocky shorelines. Smaller jigs, crankbaits, and topwater lures can be effective. A local tip: Spotted Bass in Lake Hartwell often school up, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Also, be aware that the water clarity can vary depending on rainfall, so adjust your lure colors accordingly. These spots are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
