Spotted Bass
For spotted bass fishing near Mint Hill, North Carolina, concentrate your efforts on the nearby Catawba River lakes, particularly Mountain Island Lake and Lake Norman. These reservoirs offer suitable habitat for spotted bass, which often share the same waters as largemouth bass. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as spotted bass become more active with the changing water temperatures. Focus on rocky points, submerged brush, and docks. Spotted bass tend to prefer slightly deeper water than largemouth, so target areas in the 10-20 foot range. Smaller crankbaits, jigs, and soft plastics are effective lures. A local tip is to try fishing around the numerous docks and piers on Mountain Island Lake. Spotted bass in this region tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they can still provide exciting action. Be sure to check the current fishing regulations from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
