Spotted Bass
While largemouth bass are more common in the Mercedes, Texas area, it's worth noting that spotted bass are not typically found in the irrigation canals and resacas near Mercedes. Spotted bass prefer clearer, cooler waters with rocky or gravel bottoms, which are not characteristic of the waterways in this region. If you're specifically targeting spotted bass in Texas, you would have better luck heading north towards the central Texas lakes and rivers. These waterways offer the habitat more suitable for spotted bass populations.
