Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, while not as common as largemouth, can be found in the waters around Butner, NC. Your best bet is to focus on areas with rocky bottoms and clearer water, which are preferred habitats for this species. Look for them in the deeper sections of creeks and rivers that feed into larger reservoirs. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they become more active during these periods. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms are effective lures. A key local tip is to pay attention to current; spotted bass often position themselves near current breaks to ambush prey. Access can be challenging, as many of the prime areas are only accessible by boat or require a bit of hiking. Be sure to check local fishing regulations, as spotted bass may have different size and creel limits than largemouth bass. This can be a fun change of pace.
