Spotted Bass
For anglers targeting spotted bass, Lenoir City, Tennessee, offers excellent opportunities, especially on Fort Loudoun Lake. This reservoir's rocky structure and clear water provide ideal habitat for spots. Unlike their largemouth cousins, spotted bass often prefer deeper water and rocky points. They're aggressive feeders, especially during the fall and winter months. A good strategy is to use Alabama rigs, jigs, or crankbaits along rocky banks and drop-offs. A local tip: look for areas with current, as spotted bass tend to congregate in these spots. Many anglers find success near the Interstate 75 bridge, where the channel swings close to the bank. The spotted bass in Fort Loudoun are known for their schooling behavior, so when you find one, you're likely to find more. Be prepared for a spirited fight from these tenacious fish.
