Spotted Bass
If you're targeting Spotted Bass near Muldraugh, Kentucky, you'll want to focus your efforts on the local creeks and the Salt River. This area offers a variety of habitat that these aggressive fish love, from rocky runs to submerged timber. Spring and fall are prime times, as the spotted bass are most active during these periods, either spawning or feeding heavily before winter. A practical tip is to access the Salt River via one of the public access points along Highway 62; be prepared for some bank fishing as boat access can be limited in certain areas. Locally, spotted bass tend to run slightly smaller than largemouth, but they make up for it with their feisty attitude. Try using crankbaits and spinnerbaits around structure, or downsize your presentation with finesse techniques when the bite gets tough. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before heading out.
