Spotted Bass
While North Dakota isn't typically known for spotted bass, the Devils Lake region near Minnewaukan offers a unique, albeit limited, opportunity to target them. The lake's interconnected bays and sloughs, along with rising water levels, have expanded their habitat. Look for spotted bass around submerged structure like flooded trees, riprap, and docks, especially in areas with some current. Spring and early summer, as the water warms, are prime times as the fish move shallow to spawn. Focus your efforts in the Six Mile Bay area, known for its diverse structure and access points. Be aware that spotted bass are not as abundant as other species in Devils Lake, so targeting them specifically can be challenging. A good tip is to use smaller crankbaits and jigs that mimic the smaller baitfish they feed on. Also, keep in mind that Devils Lake is known for its fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you go.
