Spotted Bass
Point Judith, Rhode Island, isn't typically known for spotted bass (Kentucky Bass). When anglers in Rhode Island refer to 'spotted bass' they're usually talking about a nickname for the more common Largemouth Bass. If you're looking to catch largemouths, focus your efforts on the freshwater ponds and lakes inland from Point Judith. Worden Pond, for example, is a known largemouth producer. Spring and fall are the best times to fish for them, as they are more active in cooler water. Fish around structure such as weed beds, docks, and submerged timber. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all effective. Access to some ponds is limited, so check local regulations regarding permits and boat launches. Largemouth bass in Rhode Island can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
