Spotted Bass
For spotted bass fishing near Cedar Rock, NC, focus your attention on the smaller rivers and creeks that drain into the larger Roanoke River basin. These fish prefer clear, rocky streams and reservoirs with plenty of structure. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky points, and bluff walls. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms are all effective lures. A local tactic is to fish upstream, casting towards cover and retrieving with the current. Public access to these smaller waterways can be limited, so be prepared to do some exploring to find suitable spots. Spotted bass in this region are known to be aggressive and readily take artificial lures, offering anglers exciting action in a scenic setting. Keep an eye out for posted signage regarding private property and always respect the environment.
