Spotted Bass
Spotted bass aren't as common as largemouth bass in Kansas, but if you're near Alta Vista and looking to target them, Council Grove Lake is your best bet. While largemouth are more prevalent, spotted bass are present and can be found in similar habitats, often relating more to rocky areas and deeper structure. Look for them around submerged rock piles, points, and along the dam face. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times. A Carolina rig with a lizard or a small crankbait bounced off the rocks can be effective. Because spotted bass compete with largemouth, they tend to be smaller overall, but they're still a fun and challenging fish to catch. Be sure to check your fish identification carefully to differentiate them from largemouth, as regulations may vary.
