Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, thrive in the waterways around Ethridge, Tennessee. While not as prevalent as largemouth, they offer a fun alternative, often schooling and providing fast action when you find them. The Buffalo River and its tributaries hold good populations of spotted bass, favoring areas with current and rocky structure. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they are active during these periods. Try using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or jigs around rocky points and submerged ledges. A practical tip is to focus on the areas where the smaller creeks and streams flow into the Buffalo River; these confluences often hold concentrations of spotted bass. The spotted bass here tend to be aggressive and fight hard, making them a rewarding catch for any angler.
