Spotted Bass
For anglers seeking the scrappy fight of a spotted bass, the waters near Dallas, NC, particularly the Catawba River system and Lake Wylie, offer solid opportunities. Spotted bass, while often smaller than largemouth, are known for their aggressive strikes and energetic battles. They tend to prefer rocky areas and deeper, clearer water than their largemouth cousins. Focus your efforts around points, humps, and submerged rock piles. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina rigs are effective lure choices. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they are more active during these periods. Lake Wylie provides numerous access points, including public boat ramps and fishing piers. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as spotted bass prefer cleaner water. Spotted bass in this area typically range from 1 to 3 pounds, but larger specimens are occasionally caught. These fish are often overlooked by anglers targeting largemouth, so focusing specifically on spotted bass habitat can lead to a rewarding day on the water.
