Spotted Bass
While largemouth bass tend to steal the spotlight, Creswell, North Carolina, also offers opportunities to catch spotted bass. The Scuppernong River and its tributaries hold a population of these feisty fish. Spotted bass prefer slightly clearer water and more current than largemouth, so focus your efforts in the main river channel and areas with rocky or gravelly bottoms. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target them. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are effective lures. A local tip: spotted bass often school together, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Access to the Scuppernong River is available via several public boat ramps. The spotted bass in this area are generally smaller than largemouth, averaging around 1-2 pounds, but they are aggressive and provide a good fight on light tackle. They're often found holding near structure like fallen trees or docks. Keep an eye out for areas where the river narrows or has a noticeable current, as these are prime spots to find them.
