Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass tend to dominate the bass fishing scene around Rich Square, keep an eye out for Spotted Bass in the deeper, clearer waters. These fish are not as prevalent as largemouth, but they are present in some of the local creeks and ponds. Look for them around rocky areas, submerged timber, and deeper drop-offs. Spotted bass prefer slightly cooler and clearer water than largemouth, so target these areas accordingly. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms are effective lures. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for them. A local tip: Focus on areas with current, as spotted bass tend to congregate in these locations. The spotted bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, often exceeding the fight of a similar sized largemouth. Always check local fishing regulations, as spotted bass may have different size and creel limits than largemouth bass.
