Spotted Bass
While largemouth bass get much of the attention, spotted bass can be found in some of the same waters around Dumas, Texas, offering a fun alternative for anglers. Lake Meredith, though not primarily known for spots, does hold a population, particularly in the clearer, rockier areas. Spotted bass tend to prefer cooler water and can often be found deeper than largemouths, especially during the warmer months. Target them with smaller crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms around rocky points, bluffs, and submerged timber. Fall and spring are generally the best times to fish for spotted bass as they move shallower to feed. A local tip: pay close attention to your line, as spotted bass often have subtle strikes. Because spotted bass aren't as common in this region, consider practicing catch and release to help maintain the population. Remember to check the current fishing regulations, as spotted bass are often managed under the same rules as largemouth bass.
