Spotted Bass
If you're targeting Spotted Bass in McEwen, Tennessee, you'll want to focus your attention on the numerous creeks and rivers that snake through the area, particularly the Duck River and smaller tributaries like Trace Creek. These waterways offer ideal habitat for Spots, with plenty of rocky structure, submerged timber, and current breaks. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Early mornings and late afternoons often produce the best results. For bank access, try exploring areas near bridge crossings or public access points along the Duck River. A local tip: Spotted Bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs. Don't be afraid to downsize your presentation if the fish are being finicky. The Spotted Bass population in this area is healthy, with good numbers of fish in the 1-3 pound range, and the occasional larger specimen.
