Spotted Bass
Lake Oahe near Mobridge, South Dakota, is one of the best places in the state to target Spotted Bass. These hard-fighting fish thrive in the reservoir's clear, rocky waters. Look for them around rocky points, bluffs, and submerged structure, especially in the lower portions of the lake. Unlike largemouth, spotted bass often prefer deeper water, so focus your efforts along steeper drop-offs. Small crankbaits, tubes, and drop-shot rigs are all effective presentations. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but spotted bass can be caught year-round with the right techniques. A key to success is using your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as the spotted bass will often be nearby. Be aware that spotted bass can be easily confused with smallmouth bass, so know the distinguishing characteristics.
