Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, are a common and popular target around Fox Chase. These aggressive bass thrive in the rocky streams and rivers of the area. The Cumberland River and its tributaries hold good populations of spotted bass. Unlike largemouth, spotted bass tend to prefer slightly deeper water and areas with current. Spring and fall are prime times, with spring offering pre-spawn and spawning activity, and fall providing excellent feeding opportunities as the water cools. Small crankbaits, jigs, and spinnerbaits are effective lures. A key local tip is to focus on rocky banks and submerged timber, as spotted bass often relate to these structures. Also, pay attention to water clarity; spotted bass often do well in slightly clearer water than largemouth. The spotted bass in this region are known for their feisty attitude and willingness to strike lures, making them a fun and challenging target for anglers of all skill levels.
