“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout.  He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did.  A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

Spotted Bass

Spotted Bass

Various

While largemouth bass get most of the attention in Halifax, NC, the Roanoke River also holds a population of spotted bass, offering a fun alternative for anglers. These fish can be found in the same general areas as largemouth, but they often prefer slightly deeper water and areas with more current. Look for them around rocky points, submerged timber, and bridge pilings. Spring and fall are the best times to target spotted bass. Smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are effective lures. A drop-shot rig with a small worm can also be deadly. A local tip: the stretch of the Roanoke River near the NC 125 bridge is known to hold a good number of spotted bass. Access is available from the public boat ramp nearby, but be prepared for some boat traffic, especially on weekends. Spotted bass in the Roanoke River tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they fight hard and can provide exciting action on light tackle.
