Spotted Bass

If you're after spotted bass in Mississippi, the creeks and rivers around Okolona are worth exploring. Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, thrive in the rocky, flowing waters of this region. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as boulders, submerged logs, and creek bends. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for spotted bass, as they become more active with the moderate temperatures. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are all effective lures. A local tip: target areas with shade, as spotted bass tend to prefer these locations, especially during the heat of the day. Many of the creeks are accessible by wading, but be sure to wear appropriate footwear and exercise caution. The spotted bass in this area are typically smaller than largemouth, but they are aggressive fighters and can provide a fun and challenging fishing experience.
