Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention, Williamston, NC, also offers opportunities to target spotted bass. Though not as abundant as largemouth in the Roanoke River system, spotted bass can be found in the same areas, particularly around rocky structure and deeper channels. Focus your efforts in the cooler months – spring and fall – when the water temperatures are more favorable. Smaller crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina rigs are effective for targeting spots. A tip for finding them: look for areas where the current is a bit faster, as spotted bass tend to prefer moving water more than largemouth. While you likely won't find trophy-sized spotted bass like you might for largemouth, they offer a fun and challenging alternative, and can often be mixed in with your largemouth catches.
