Spotted Bass
While Lake Fork near Emory, Texas, is renowned for largemouth, it also holds a healthy population of spotted bass. These feisty fish often get overlooked but can provide exciting action, especially when largemouth fishing is slow. Spotted bass tend to prefer slightly deeper, clearer water than largemouth. Focus your efforts around rocky points, submerged humps, and creek channels. They readily take a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs. Downsizing your presentation can be key when targeting spotted bass. The winter months can be surprisingly productive, as spotted bass often school up in deeper water. A local tip: try fishing around the FM 515 bridge pilings. Be mindful of the boat traffic in this area. Also, remember to check the TPWD regulations for any specific rules regarding spotted bass.
