Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention near Madisonville, don't overlook the spotted bass fishing, especially in the clearer, faster-flowing sections of the Tchefuncte River. These feisty bass tend to congregate around rocky bottoms, submerged logs, and deeper channels. Winter and early spring are productive periods, as the cooler water temperatures concentrate the fish. Try using crankbaits or jigs that mimic crawfish, a staple of their diet. A local's trick is to target the areas where the river bends, as these often hold deeper pockets of water. Public access is available at the Fairview-Riverside State Park, providing bank fishing and boat launch facilities. Spotted bass in the Tchefuncte are often smaller than largemouth, but they are known for their energetic fights.
