Spotted Bass
While largemouth often steal the spotlight, Bullard, Texas also provides opportunities for spotted bass, particularly in the creeks and smaller tributaries feeding into Lake Palestine. These feisty fish are often found in areas with rocky bottoms and clearer water than their largemouth cousins. Spring and early summer are generally good times to target them, as they become more active in warmer water. Try using lightweight tackle and smaller lures like crankbaits, spinners, or even live bait. A key tip is to focus on areas with current; spotted bass often position themselves to ambush prey. Accessing these creeks may require some walking, but the reward can be a productive day of fishing. The spotted bass population in this region provides a fun alternative for anglers looking for a challenge.
