Spotted Bass
Claremont, NC, while perhaps better known for its catfish, also offers some solid spotted bass fishing. Lake Norman is again your best bet, as it holds a healthy population of these feisty fighters. Spotted bass tend to favor rocky areas and steeper banks, so focus your efforts around these types of structures. Unlike largemouth, they're often found in deeper water, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall are prime times, when the water temperatures are more moderate. A Carolina rig with a lizard or creature bait is a classic choice, but don't be afraid to experiment with crankbaits and jerkbaits. For shore access, explore the public access points around Lake Norman State Park. Be aware that spotted bass, while aggressive, can be finicky, so pay attention to line visibility and consider using fluorocarbon leaders. Many anglers have success fishing near the Highway 150 bridge.
