Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention around Kirby, don't overlook the spotted bass! These feisty fighters can be found in the same general areas, but they tend to prefer slightly deeper water and areas with more current. Focus on the San Antonio River and its tributaries. Spotted bass are often found near rocky outcroppings and submerged timber. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they become more active during these periods. A Ned rig or a small crankbait worked slowly along the bottom can be deadly. Access to the river is available at several points along its course, but be mindful of private property. Spotted bass in this region aren't known for reaching trophy sizes, but they are abundant and can provide consistent action. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you start fishing.
