Spotted Bass
If you're looking for Spotted Bass in southeast Kansas, Galesburg offers some surprisingly good opportunities. Focus your efforts on the smaller creeks and rivers that feed into the Neosho River in the area. These clear, rocky streams provide ideal habitat for Spots. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times to find aggressive fish. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky outcroppings, and current breaks. A Texas-rigged worm or a small crankbait worked along the bottom is often effective. Access can be tricky in some areas, so be prepared for some walking. Check local regulations regarding access to waterways that cross private land. A good starting point is any of the public access points along the Neosho River itself, then work your way upstream into the smaller tributaries. The Spotted Bass in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight!
