Spotted Bass
If you're chasing Spotted Bass in South Carolina, Arcadia Lakes offers a unique experience. This chain of small, interconnected lakes near Columbia provides ideal habitat for Spots, with plenty of rocky structure, docks, and submerged timber. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Focus your efforts around the deeper sections near the dams and along the riprap banks. A key local tip: many of the lakes have limited public access, so be sure to launch from one of the few available boat ramps or consider fishing from the shore where permitted. Also, be aware that these Spots can be line-shy, so using lighter fluorocarbon leaders is a good idea. The Spotted Bass in Arcadia Lakes tend to be smaller than Largemouth, but they are aggressive and fun to catch, often schooling up, which can lead to fast action once you find them.
