Spotted Bass
For spotted bass fishing near Lillington, NC, the Cape Fear River offers a unique opportunity. This isn't a classic spotted bass fishery, but these aggressive fish are present, particularly in areas with rocky structure and current. Focus your efforts on the stretches of the river with shoals, ledges, and submerged rocks. Late spring and early fall are excellent times to target them, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are effective lures. Try fishing near the Hwy 210 bridge, where there's good access and plenty of rocky habitat. Spotted bass in the Cape Fear River tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they're known for their fighting spirit. Be prepared for a fun, challenging experience targeting these often-overlooked gamefish.
