Spotted Bass
Central City, Kentucky, offers some surprisingly good spotted bass fishing in its freshwater systems. While not as widely publicized as largemouth bass fishing, the spotted bass population in the Green River and its tributaries provides a rewarding challenge for anglers. Spotted bass tend to congregate around rocky areas, submerged timber, and current breaks. Look for them in areas with clear water and moderate flow. Spring and fall are prime times, but spotted bass can be caught year-round with the right tactics. A key to success is downsizing your presentation; lighter line and smaller lures often produce better results. Bank access is limited in some areas, so consider using a kayak or small boat to explore the river effectively. A local’s secret: try fishing around the numerous bridge pilings along the Green River; they often hold good numbers of spotted bass. Remember to check the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources website for current regulations.
