Spotted Bass
Spotted bass in the Cartersville area offer a challenging but rewarding fishing experience. Lake Allatoona is prime habitat, and these fish tend to congregate around rocky points, submerged timber, and deeper structure. Unlike largemouth, spots often prefer clearer water, so target areas less affected by runoff. Spring and fall are peak seasons, with topwater lures and crankbaits working well in shallower water. During the summer, focus on deeper structure with drop-shot rigs and jigs. A local secret? Spotted bass often school tightly, so when you find one, you'll likely find more. The Stamp Creek area is known for holding good numbers of spots. Several public boat ramps provide access, but be aware of heavy weekend traffic, especially during peak seasons.
