Spotted Bass
Although not as prevalent as largemouth, spotted bass can be found in the freshwater tributaries around Aurora, North Carolina. Targeting them requires a slightly different approach. These fish often inhabit areas with clearer water and more current than their largemouth cousins. Spring and fall are also good times to target spotted bass, particularly around rocky areas and creek channels. A helpful hint: smaller crankbaits and spinnerbaits retrieved quickly can be very effective. Focus on areas upstream from the main river. Access can be more challenging than for largemouth, often requiring wading or a small boat. Spotted bass in this area tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights. Remember to positively identify your catch, as regulations may differ between spotted and largemouth bass. Check the current NC fishing regulations for specific details.
