Spotted Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some hard-fighting spotted bass, Denton, Texas, has a few options worth exploring. While not as abundant as largemouth, spotted bass provide a unique challenge and can be found in Lake Lewisville and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Look for them around rocky points, submerged timber, and riprap banks. Spring and fall are prime times to target spotted bass, as they move shallower to feed and spawn. A Texas-rigged worm or a crankbait fished along the bottom can be highly effective. A local access point is the Lake Lewisville Corp of Engineers park, offering boat ramps and shoreline access. Spotted bass in this area tend to be smaller than largemouth, typically ranging from 1 to 3 pounds, but they fight aggressively for their size. Be prepared for some exciting action in tight quarters. Remember to always practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
