Spotted Bass
Spotted bass are a popular target in the Fayetteville area, though they are not as abundant as largemouth. They can be found in the Cape Fear River and its tributaries, often holding in areas with faster currents and rocky bottoms. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, particularly during periods of stable water levels. While largemouth anglers might focus on the lakes, concentrate your efforts on the river systems if targeting spots. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and tubes are effective lures. Look for areas with current breaks, such as rocks and downed trees, as these provide ambush points for spotted bass. A local tip is to focus on the deeper pools in the river during the hotter months, as the spotted bass will often seek refuge from the heat there. Access to the Cape Fear River can be found at several public boat ramps and access points, but be sure to check water levels before heading out.
