Spotted Bass

Spotted Bass

freshwater

While Medon, Tennessee, isn't necessarily known as a spotted bass mecca, these hard-fighting fish do inhabit the local waterways, offering a fun alternative to largemouth. The Forked Deer River and its tributaries are your best bet. Spotted bass prefer moving water and rocky structure, so target areas with current, submerged logs, and gravel bottoms. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective lures. Downsizing your presentation can be key, especially in clear water. Access to the Forked Deer can be tricky, with limited public boat ramps. The Denmark-Reddick Road bridge offers some bank access and a potential kayak launch spot. Remember that spotted bass often school, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Expect to find spotted bass in the 1-3 pound range, with the occasional larger fish.
