Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, though less abundant than largemouth, can be found in some of the same waterways around College Station, particularly in the Navasota River and connected creeks. These fish prefer clearer, moving water and rocky structure. The best time to target spotted bass is during the spring and fall, similar to largemouth. Focus your efforts on areas with current, such as riffles and runs, and around submerged rocks and logs. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective lures. Access to the Navasota River can be found at various bridge crossings and public access points. Be aware of water levels and potential hazards. A helpful local tip: spotted bass often hold tight to cover, so make precise casts and be prepared for quick strikes. The spotted bass in this area tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they are aggressive and provide a fun challenge for anglers.
