Spotted Bass
While China Grove, Texas, isn't a hotspot for spotted bass like some other regions, you can still find them in the local freshwater creeks and streams. These fish tend to prefer moving water and rocky bottoms, so focus your efforts on areas with these features. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they become more active during these periods. A key local tip is to use lighter tackle and smaller lures, as the spotted bass in these smaller waterways can be quite finicky. Public access to the creeks can be limited, so it's important to research access points and obtain permission where necessary. The spotted bass population here is generally smaller in size compared to largemouth, but they can still provide a fun and challenging fishing experience. Look for them near creek mouths that feed into larger bodies of water.
