Spotted Bass
If you're looking for some exciting spotted bass action in eastern North Carolina, the waterways around Rose Hill offer some often-overlooked opportunities. While not as famed as some other NC fisheries, the region's network of smaller rivers and creeks connected to the Northeast Cape Fear River can hold surprisingly good populations of these aggressive predators. Focus your efforts in the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate, and the bass are actively feeding. Look for structure like submerged logs, creek mouths, and rocky outcroppings, as spotted bass love to ambush prey. A local tip: many of these waterways are best accessed by kayak or small boat due to shallow water and limited ramp access. The Highway 117 bridge crossings provide some bank access. The spotted bass here tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight!
