Spotted Bass
Similar to Blue Catfish, Spotted Bass are not a species typically found in the Minot region of North Dakota. Their native range is primarily in the southeastern United States, and they have not been widely introduced or established in North Dakota waters. Anglers seeking bass fishing opportunities near Minot should focus on Largemouth Bass in Lake Darling or other smaller lakes and ponds in the area. These waters, while not known for trophy-sized bass, offer a more realistic chance of success. Trying to target Spotted Bass near Minot would likely be an unproductive endeavor.
