Spotted Bass
While Maryland's Eastern Shore isn't typically known for its spotted bass, the upper reaches of the Tuckahoe Creek near Hillsboro offer a unique opportunity. Spotted bass, though not as prevalent as largemouth, have established a niche in this freshwater system. They tend to congregate around submerged woody structure, especially near the confluence of smaller tributaries flowing into the Tuckahoe. Focus your efforts on areas with fallen trees, brush piles, and undercut banks. Spring and early summer, when the water warms up, are prime times to target them as they move shallow to spawn. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms worked slowly around cover are effective. Access to the Tuckahoe Creek is available at various points along Tuckahoe Road. Be mindful of water levels, as the creek can become quite shallow in late summer. Keep an eye out for lily pads and other vegetation as well.
