Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention around Chocowinity, the Pamlico River and its tributaries also hold a healthy population of spotted bass, offering a fun alternative for anglers. These fish often inhabit the same areas as largemouth, but tend to favor slightly deeper water and areas with more current. Look for them around bridge pilings, creek mouths, and submerged structure. Spotted bass are aggressive predators and readily take a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics. Downsizing your lure selection can sometimes be the key to targeting spotted bass specifically. The best time to target spotted bass is generally during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they are more active. The Pamlico River offers numerous access points, but be aware of the current and potential for strong winds. Spotted bass in this area are known for their feisty attitude and willingness to strike, making them a rewarding target for anglers of all skill levels.
