Spotted Bass
If you're chasing Spotted Bass in Jones Creek, Texas, you'll want to focus on the Brazos River and its tributaries. This area offers a unique blend of slow-moving, muddy waters and clearer, faster-flowing sections that Spotted Bass love. Unlike their largemouth cousins, Spots here tend to school up more tightly, so finding one often means finding several. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season (March-May) when they move into shallower areas to nest. Fall (October-November) is also productive as they feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Pay close attention to areas with submerged timber or rocky outcroppings; these are prime ambush points. The public access point at the FM 2004 bridge offers decent bank fishing and a place to launch a small boat or kayak. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate rapidly depending on rainfall, so check conditions before heading out. The Spotted Bass here aren't huge, averaging 1-3 pounds, but their aggressive strikes make them a fun target.
