Spotted Bass
While not as abundant as largemouth, targeting spotted bass near Bel Air presents a unique angling challenge. Spotted bass are present in the Susquehanna River system, particularly in the more rocky and flowing sections. They thrive in cooler, clearer water than largemouth, so focus your efforts upstream. Spring and fall are again prime times, as these fish move into shallower water to feed. A great tactic is to use small crankbaits or jigs to target rocky areas and current breaks. Be aware that spotted bass are often found mixed with smallmouth bass in these areas, so be prepared for either species. Access to the Susquehanna can be found at several public boat ramps and parks along the river. Spotted bass in this area are generally smaller than largemouth, but they are known for their aggressive strikes and fighting ability. Check the water levels before you go, as the river can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall.
