Spotted Bass
Gordonsville, Tennessee, offers some excellent spotted bass fishing within Cordell Hull Lake. Spotted bass, known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, thrive in the lake's rocky structure and clear water. Unlike largemouth, spotted bass often school up, so finding one can mean finding many. Late spring through early fall is the best time to target them, as they tend to be more active in warmer water. Focus on rocky points, bluffs, and submerged humps. A Carolina rig with a lizard or a small crankbait are effective choices. The Gainesboro area is a known hotspot for spotted bass. The Highway 56 bridge provides bank fishing access. Be aware that spotted bass have a smaller mouth than largemouth, so downsizing your lure size can increase your hookup ratio.
