Various

While Florence, SC, is better known for its largemouth bass, you can find spotted bass if you know where to look. Focus your efforts on the faster-moving sections of the Lynches River and its tributaries. These fish prefer areas with rocky bottoms and current, which are less common but present in this region. Spring and fall are again prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate. A key local tip is to use smaller crankbaits and spinnerbaits that mimic the local forage. The spotted bass in this area typically run smaller than largemouth, averaging 1-3 pounds, but they are aggressive and provide plenty of action on light tackle. Check local regulations, as some areas may have specific size or creel limits for spotted bass.
