While Rexford, Kansas, might not be the first place that comes to mind for Spotted Bass, the smaller reservoirs and connecting creeks in the surrounding area offer surprisingly good fishing. These fish aren't as abundant as Largemouth, but they fight hard! Spring, especially during the pre-spawn period (late March to early May), is prime time. Look for rocky outcroppings and submerged timber in the shallower sections of reservoirs like Norton or Keith Sebelius. Small crankbaits and jigs worked slowly are effective. Access can be tricky in some areas; check county road maps for public access points and be prepared to walk a bit. Water levels can fluctuate dramatically depending on rainfall, so check lake levels before you go. Spotted bass in Kansas tend to be on the smaller side, so focus on quantity and the pure enjoyment of the fight.
