Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, while not as abundant as largemouth, can be found in the creeks and rivers surrounding Keller, Texas, and occasionally within Grapevine Lake. They prefer areas with rocky bottoms, clearer water, and faster currents than largemouth. The colder months, particularly late fall and winter, can be surprisingly productive for spotted bass as they remain active even when largemouth slow down. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs fished along rocky banks and creek channels are effective. Access to these creeks is often limited, requiring some hiking and exploration. A practical tip is to look for areas where creeks enter larger bodies of water, as these confluence points often hold spotted bass. While you shouldn't expect to catch huge numbers of spotted bass, the ones you do encounter are often scrappy fighters and a welcome surprise.
