Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, while not as prevalent as largemouth, can be found in the waterways near Ridgeville, South Carolina. These feisty fish prefer clearer, cooler waters than their largemouth cousins, so focus on the deeper, clearer sections of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie. Look for them around rocky points, bluffs, and submerged timber. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they are more active during these periods. Downsizing your lures can be effective when targeting spotted bass. Try smaller crankbaits, jigs, and finesse worms. A local tip is to use a Carolina rig with a lizard or worm, dragging it slowly along the bottom. Spotted bass in this area typically run smaller than largemouth, but they are aggressive fighters and can provide plenty of fun on light tackle. Remember to always check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
