Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing near Brookford, NC, is a more niche pursuit compared to largemouth, but it can be rewarding for anglers willing to explore. Focus your efforts on the South Fork Catawba River and its tributaries. These waterways offer the rocky structure and flowing water that spotted bass prefer. Look for them around bridge pilings, rocky shoals, and areas with current breaks. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water. Small crankbaits, jigs, and soft plastics that mimic crawfish are effective choices. A good access point is the public ramp near the Highway 70 bridge on the South Fork Catawba. Be prepared for some current, and consider using heavier weights to keep your bait in the strike zone. While not as large as their largemouth cousins, spotted bass in this area are scrappy fighters and can provide a fun challenge.
