Spotted Bass
For spotted bass enthusiasts, Williamsburg, Kentucky, provides access to the Cumberland River and its tributaries, which hold decent populations of these feisty fish. Unlike largemouths, spots prefer moving water and rocky habitats. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, such as submerged logs, boulders, and points. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target spotted bass, as they become more active when water temperatures are moderate. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are all effective lures. A local's secret: many anglers have success using live crawfish. A good access point is the boat ramp at Warrior’s Path State Park, providing easy access to productive stretches of the Cumberland River. Spotted bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
