Spotted Bass
If you're chasing Spotted Bass in East Texas, Marshall offers some surprisingly good opportunities. Focus your efforts on Caddo Lake and Lake O' the Pines. Caddo, with its maze of cypress trees and sloughs, is a classic spot, while O' the Pines offers more open water and clearer conditions. Spring and fall are prime times, as the spots move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. For Caddo, a Texas-rigged worm or spinnerbait worked around the cypress trees can be deadly. On O' the Pines, try crankbaits and Carolina rigs along points and drop-offs. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity; spots tend to prefer slightly clearer water than largemouth. Public access is available at various boat ramps around both lakes, but be mindful of stumps and shallow areas, especially on Caddo. Spotted bass in this area are generally scrappy fighters, often found holding near structure.
