Spotted Bass
Spotted bass aren't as common as largemouth in the Lubbock area, but they can still provide some fun fishing. Your best bet is likely Lake Alan Henry, a bit of a drive southeast of Lubbock, where they've been stocked. These fish tend to prefer clearer water and rocky structure compared to largemouth, so target areas with submerged rocks, bluffs, and points. Spring and fall are prime times, and you'll often find them relating to similar areas as largemouth. Downsized lures, such as small crankbaits, jigs, and Texas-rigged worms, are effective. Pay attention to water clarity; if the water is murky, opt for brighter colors. Spotted bass are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready! A local tip: Look for submerged timber in the clearer sections of Lake Alan Henry, as spotted bass often hold tight to this structure.
