Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass tend to steal the spotlight, Buffalo, Texas, also offers opportunities to target Spotted Bass. These feisty fish are often found in the same waters as largemouth, but they tend to prefer slightly deeper and clearer areas with rocky or gravel bottoms. Concentrate your efforts in Lake Limestone. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Smaller crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms are all effective baits. Spotted bass tend to be more active in cooler water, so spring and fall can be particularly productive. A local tip: focus on the steeper banks and deeper structure that largemouth might overlook. Spotted bass are typically smaller than largemouth in this area, but they fight hard pound-for-pound. Brushy Creek and other smaller tributaries to Lake Limestone can hold good populations of spotted bass. Be sure to consult the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits.
