Spotted Bass
For anglers chasing spotted bass near Bethania, the Yadkin River chain is your best bet. While not as abundant as largemouth in some areas, the spots provide a fun challenge and can be found mixing with largemouth in the same habitats. Look for them in areas with rocky bottoms, points, and near the dam structures on lakes like High Rock. Spring and fall are also key times for targeting spots, as they tend to be more active in cooler water. Downsizing your presentation can be effective, using smaller crankbaits, finesse worms, and Ned rigs. A local tip: focus on areas with current, as spotted bass tend to prefer moving water. The spotted bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, making for an exciting fishing experience. Remember to distinguish between largemouth and spotted bass for accurate identification and adherence to regulations.
