Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing in the Cheraw, South Carolina area can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the Great Pee Dee River and its tributaries. While not as abundant as largemouth, the Pee Dee holds a decent population of spots that provide a fun challenge for anglers. Focus your efforts on areas with rocky shoals, submerged wood, and current breaks. Spotted bass tend to prefer slightly faster-moving water than largemouth. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are more active during these periods. A local tip is to use smaller crankbaits and spinnerbaits that mimic the river's forage. Also, don't overlook finesse techniques like shaky heads and drop shots, especially when the bite is tough. Access to the river is available through several public boat ramps, but be mindful of the river's sometimes swift current and shallow areas. The spotted bass in this region typically range from 1 to 3 pounds, with the occasional larger fish.
