Spotted Bass
Targeting spotted bass around Littleton, North Carolina, means heading to the expansive Lake Gaston. While largemouth get more attention, Gaston holds a healthy population of spots that offer a unique challenge. Focus your efforts around rocky points, submerged timber, and deeper structure, especially in the lower end of the lake near the dam. Spotted bass tend to prefer slightly deeper water than largemouth. Carolina rigs with creature baits or jigging spoons are effective techniques. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are more conducive to spotted bass activity. A key local tip: Pay attention to the thermocline, as spotted bass will often congregate just above it. Also, be aware that spotted bass in Gaston don't always reach the size of their largemouth cousins, but they fight hard pound-for-pound.
