Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, can be found in Indian Lake, Texas, although they are not as abundant as largemouth. They often get overlooked, but can provide a fun and rewarding fishing experience. These fish tend to prefer slightly deeper water and areas with more structure than largemouth. Look for them around submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass. Try using smaller crankbaits, jigs, or Texas-rigged worms. A local tip is to focus on areas where the water has a little more clarity. Spotted bass tend to be more active in clearer water than largemouth. Because spotted bass are less common in Indian Lake, practicing catch and release is encouraged to help maintain the population.
