Spotted Bass
While Newington, Georgia, might not be the first place that comes to mind for spotted bass fishing, the Ogeechee River and its tributaries hold a surprising number of these feisty fish. Spotted bass prefer the slightly cooler, moving water, so target areas with current breaks, rocky shoals, and submerged wood. Spring is a great time to target them as they move shallow to spawn, and fall is also productive as they feed aggressively before winter. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics rigged Texas-style or on a shaky head are effective lures. Focus your efforts on the main river channel and the mouths of creeks flowing into the Ogeechee. Access can be a bit limited, but there are a few public boat ramps and access points along the river. Be mindful of water levels, as the Ogeechee can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall. Remember to check Georgia's fishing regulations before you go.
