Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass are the main attraction in Selma, NC, don't overlook the possibility of encountering Spotted Bass, particularly in the Neuse River. Spotted Bass are less common than Largemouth in this area, but they are present and can provide a fun surprise. They often prefer slightly deeper and faster-moving water than largemouth, so target areas with current and rocky structure. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms are good choices for targeting Spotted Bass. Focus your efforts in the main river channel and around submerged rocks and woody debris. A local tip is to fish near the confluence of smaller creeks and the Neuse River; these areas often hold both Largemouth and Spotted Bass. While not as numerous as their larger cousins, the Spotted Bass in the Neuse are known for their fighting spirit, often putting up a strong battle for their size.
