Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention, don't overlook the spotted bass fishing near Oak Ridge, Louisiana. These feisty cousins of the largemouth thrive in the clearer, faster-flowing sections of the Tensas River and its tributaries. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they become more active in moderate water temperatures. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and finesse presentations like shaky heads are effective lures. A helpful tip is to focus on rocky areas and creek channels, as spotted bass prefer these habitats. The spotted bass population in this area is known for its aggressive feeding habits, providing consistent action for anglers. While they may not reach the same size as largemouth, their willingness to strike makes them a fun target. Access to these areas can sometimes be challenging, so consider using a kayak or small boat to explore the more remote sections of the river. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the health of this unique fishery.
