Spotted Bass
If you're looking for hard-fighting spotted bass in the Kings Mountain area, you're in luck. While not as abundant as largemouth, the spotties here offer a unique challenge in the region's smaller lakes and streams. Kings Mountain Reservoir and nearby farm ponds are your best bet. Focus on rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels – spots where these ambush predators lie in wait. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish move shallower to feed and spawn. For access, check with local landowners for permission to fish private ponds; public access to Kings Mountain Reservoir is available, but can be limited. A Carolina rig with a lizard or a crankbait worked along the bottom is a reliable producer. The spotted bass in this area tend to be smaller than their largemouth cousins, so adjust your tackle accordingly. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
