Spotted Bass
While not as abundant as largemouth, spotted bass offer a fun challenge in the waterways around Boardman, NC. The Lumber River, with its darker, tannin-stained waters and abundant woody cover, is a good place to start. Spotted bass here tend to congregate around submerged logs, cypress knees, and undercut banks. They are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures can be effective. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive, as the fish move into shallower water to feed. A local access point is the Princess Ann access on the Lumber River. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains, as it can make navigation challenging. The spotted bass in this area typically run smaller than largemouth, but their aggressive strikes make them a rewarding catch.
