Spotted Bass
Finding spotted bass near Kill Devil Hills will involve a journey inland to the freshwater rivers and reservoirs west of the Outer Banks. While not a typical Outer Banks species, these bass can be found in the Roanoke River system and some of the connected lakes. Look for rocky areas, submerged timber, and creek mouths. Spring and fall are ideal times, as the water temperatures are moderate and the bass are actively feeding. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics fished along the bottom are effective lures. Focus on areas with current breaks and structure that provide ambush points. The Roanoke River has several public access points and boat ramps, making it a good starting point. Remember to check the local fishing regulations, as there may be specific size and creel limits for spotted bass. Spotted bass in this area are generally smaller than largemouth, but they can still provide a fun and challenging fishing experience. Consider using lighter tackle for a more sporting fight.
