Spotted Bass
If you're heading to Malakoff, Texas, and have spotted bass on your mind, Cedar Creek Reservoir is your go-to destination. This reservoir is known for its abundant standing timber and submerged vegetation, creating ideal habitat for spotted bass. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed before winter. Focus your efforts around points, creek channels, and submerged structure using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged soft plastics. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity – spotted bass often prefer slightly clearer water than largemouth. Also, be aware of the wind; it can pick up quickly on Cedar Creek, so check the forecast before heading out.
