Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass are the primary target for many anglers in the Kenansville area, you can also find Spotted Bass in the Northeast Cape Fear River and some of the surrounding creeks. These bass prefer slightly clearer and cooler water than largemouth, so focus your efforts in areas with more current and rocky or sandy bottoms. The best time to target spotted bass is typically during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged plastics are effective lures. Look for them around submerged wood and rocky outcrops. Access to the Northeast Cape Fear River is available via various public boat ramps. Remember that spotted bass are often found in the same areas as largemouth, but they tend to be more structure-oriented. Also, check local fishing regulations, as creel limits may differ between spotted bass and largemouth bass.
