Spotted Bass
Spotted bass in the Burnsville, NC area offer a feisty alternative to largemouth, and they're often found in the same waters, albeit with slightly different preferences. Head to the nearby rivers and reservoirs, particularly the deeper, clearer sections of Lake James, to target these aggressive fighters. Spotted bass tend to congregate around rocky bluffs, submerged ledges, and steeper drop-offs. They're most active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. A great tactic is to use small crankbaits or jigs hopped along the bottom in these areas. A local's secret: Pay close attention to the thermocline, as spotted bass often hold just above it. The spotted bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
