Spotted Bass
Targeting spotted bass around Fairview, Kansas, requires a slightly different approach than largemouth. While they can coexist, spotted bass prefer slightly deeper, clearer water with more structure. Focus on rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels in area lakes and reservoirs. Spring and fall are both productive times. In the spring, look for them staging near spawning areas. In the fall, they'll be actively feeding before winter. Banner Creek Reservoir, though a bit of a drive, is known to hold spotted bass. A key local tip is to downsize your presentation. Spotted bass tend to be a bit more finicky than largemouth, so using smaller jigs, worms, and crankbaits can increase your success. Also, pay attention to the bottom composition; rocky areas are prime habitat. These fish are known for their strong fight, so be prepared for a battle!
