Spotted Bass
Targeting spotted bass near Coppell, Texas, requires a bit of exploration, as they aren't as prevalent as largemouth in some areas. Focus your efforts on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and its tributaries. Spotted bass prefer moving water and rocky structure, so look for areas with current and submerged rocks or logs. Spring and fall are generally the best seasons, when water temperatures are moderate and the fish are active. A local tip: try fishing near bridge pilings or riprap along the Elm Fork. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective lures. Spotted bass in this region tend to be smaller than largemouth, but they are aggressive fighters and can provide a fun challenge. Don't overlook smaller creeks and streams that feed into the Elm Fork; these can hold surprisingly good populations of spotted bass.
