Spotted Bass
While Bruce, Mississippi, might be better known for its largemouth bass, Sardis Lake also holds a healthy population of spotted bass. These fish often get overlooked, but they can provide some exciting action. Spotted bass in Sardis tend to congregate around rocky points and submerged timber, especially in the lower end of the lake near the dam. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, with spring offering the chance to catch them as they move shallow to spawn. A local tip: Try using a drop-shot rig with a small worm or creature bait. Spotted bass in Sardis can be finicky, so experiment with different presentations. Also, be aware that spotted bass in Sardis tend to be smaller than the largemouth, but they make up for it with their willingness to bite.
