Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, offer a fun alternative to largemouth in the Mandeville, Louisiana area. While not as abundant as largemouth, the Tchefuncte and Bogue Falaya rivers provide suitable habitat for these aggressive fish. They tend to prefer clearer, moving water with rocky or gravel bottoms, so focus your efforts upstream from Lake Pontchartrain. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, mirroring the largemouth bite. A great tactic is to target areas around bridges and docks with crankbaits or spinnerbaits. These fish are often found holding tight to structure. A local tip: The Hwy 190 bridge crossing the Tchefuncte offers bank access and can be productive. While the spotted bass here may not reach trophy sizes, they are aggressive strikers and provide exciting action on light tackle. Remember to check local regulations for size and creel limits, as they may differ from largemouth bass.
