Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass are the dominant black bass species around Knightdale, NC, Spotted Bass are less common. You'll likely need to travel further west into the Piedmont region of North Carolina to find more consistent Spotted Bass fishing. Lakes like Lake Norman or Lake Hickory are better known for their Spotted Bass populations. These fish prefer rocky habitats and clearer water than Largemouth, so target areas with gravel, bluffs, and points. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for them. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina rigs are effective techniques. A practical tip: Spotted Bass often relate to deeper water than Largemouth, so focus on fishing deeper structure. Also, be aware that Spotted Bass are known to hybridize with Largemouth, so you may encounter some fish that are difficult to identify definitively. Always check the specific regulations for the water body you are fishing, as some areas may have different rules for Spotted Bass versus Largemouth Bass.
