Spotted Bass
The diverse freshwater habitats around Jean Lafitte provide a surprisingly good environment for spotted bass, although they are often overshadowed by largemouth bass. These fish thrive in the canals, bayous, and backwaters that crisscross the area. Spring and fall are particularly productive, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Look for spotted bass around submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and grass beds. Smaller lures, such as spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics, are effective. A key to success is using lighter tackle, as spotted bass tend to be more finesse-oriented than largemouth. Accessing the best fishing spots typically requires a boat, and the numerous boat launches along Highway 45 provide convenient access. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after heavy rains or during tidal influences, as these can significantly impact fishing conditions. While spotted bass may not reach trophy sizes here, their abundance and willingness to bite make for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
