Spotted Bass
If you're in Decatur, Georgia, and looking to tangle with spotted bass, focus your efforts on the nearby Chattahoochee River and its tributaries. While not as abundant as largemouth in some areas, spotted bass thrive in the river's rocky shoals and swift currents. Spring and fall are ideal times to target them, as they become more active with the changing water temperatures. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and tube jigs are effective lures. A local tip: wading the river in areas with riffles and pools can be a great way to find these fish. Be mindful of water levels, especially after rainfall. Spotted bass in the Chattahoochee are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, making them a fun target for anglers. They tend to congregate in areas with current, so focus your efforts on these spots.
