Spotted Bass
Brownsville, Kentucky, offers some excellent fishing for spotted bass, particularly in the Green River and its tributaries. Spotted bass thrive in the river's rocky, flowing waters, making it ideal habitat. Look for them around rocky points, riffles, and submerged timber. Spring and fall are particularly good times to target spotted bass, as they become more active with the changing water temperatures. A great local tip is to use crayfish-imitation lures, as these are a staple in the spotted bass diet in this area. Light to medium spinning tackle is ideal for casting these lures and feeling the subtle bites of spotted bass. While largemouth are present, the spotted bass here are known for their aggressive strikes and willingness to chase lures, offering anglers plenty of action. Public access points along the Green River provide opportunities for both bank and boat fishing.
