Spotted Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some Spotted Bass in Southeast Texas, Groves offers some surprisingly good opportunities in its network of bayous and canals connected to Sabine Lake. These aren't trophy-sized fish, but they're plentiful and aggressive, making for a fun day on the water. Focus your efforts in the spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate, and the bass are actively feeding. Look for structure like docks, submerged vegetation, and any kind of cover that provides ambush points. A Texas-rigged worm or a shallow-diving crankbait worked around these areas can be deadly. Be aware that access to some of these waterways is limited, so scouting ahead for public access points or boat ramps is crucial. Also, pay attention to tide charts, as tidal flow influences the bass's behavior in these brackish environments. The fish here tend to be darker in coloration due to the tannin-stained water, so don't be surprised by their appearance.
