Spotted Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some Spotted Bass in Texas, Kemp offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. Cedar Creek Reservoir is the main draw here, known for its standing timber and varied structure that these fish love. Spring and fall are prime times, as the Spotted Bass move shallower to feed and spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, docks, and rocky points. A Texas-rigged worm or a crankbait worked along these structures can be highly effective. One local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as Cedar Creek can sometimes get murky. Adjust your lure colors accordingly, opting for brighter hues in stained water. Access is readily available via several public boat ramps around the lake, making it easy to get on the water. Spotted Bass in Cedar Creek aren't typically giants, but they are plentiful and scrappy fighters, providing a fun day on the water.
