Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing near Martindale, Texas, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you're looking for a change of pace from largemouth. The San Marcos River and its tributaries offer ideal habitat for these feisty fish. They tend to prefer faster-moving water and rocky areas compared to largemouth. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as water temperatures are moderate, and the fish are actively feeding. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs work well in the river's current. Focus on areas around riffles, rocks, and submerged timber. Access to the river can be found at several public parks in and around Martindale. Remember to check water levels and flow rates before heading out, as conditions can change quickly after heavy rains. Spotted bass in this area are typically smaller than largemouth, but they put up a great fight on light tackle.
