Spotted Bass

Spotted Bass

Various

While not as common as largemouth, spotted bass can be found in the waterways around Princess Anne, MD, adding a unique twist to your Eastern Shore fishing adventure. They often share the same habitat as largemouth but tend to prefer slightly deeper, clearer water with more current. Focus your efforts in the tidal creeks and rivers that feed into the Chesapeake Bay, particularly areas with rocky or sandy bottoms. Spring and fall are also productive times for spotted bass. Look for them near bridge pilings, riprap, and submerged structure. Smaller crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged soft plastics can be effective. A local angler might point you towards the Manokin River; its mix of habitats seems to hold a decent population. Remember to properly identify your catch, as spotted bass have distinct markings compared to largemouth.
