Spotted Bass
Sharpsburg offers some solid spotted bass fishing, particularly in the smaller reservoirs and creeks that feed into the larger river systems. Lake McIntosh is a popular choice, offering a good mix of structure and clear water that spotted bass prefer. These fish are active year-round, but the fall and spring offer peak opportunities. During the fall, spots are aggressively feeding before winter, while the spring sees them moving shallow to spawn. Target rocky points, submerged timber, and docks with crankbaits, jerkbaits, and Texas-rigged worms. A local's secret: downsize your presentation in the clearer waters of McIntosh. Lighter line and smaller lures can make a big difference. The spotted bass in this area are known for their acrobatic fights, so be ready for some exciting jumps. Public access is readily available at Lake McIntosh, with well-maintained boat ramps and ample parking.
