Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing in Mesquite requires a bit of exploration. While largemouth are more prevalent, spotted bass can be found in some of the deeper, clearer water impoundments around the city. Target areas with rocky structure, points, and submerged timber. Spotted bass tend to prefer slightly cooler water than largemouth, so focus on shaded areas or deeper sections of the lake, especially during the warmer months. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them. A great starting point is to use Texas-rigged worms or crankbaits that mimic crawfish, a staple in their diet. Given the potential for clear water conditions, using fluorocarbon line can increase your chances of getting bites. Spotted bass in this region typically aren't huge, but they're aggressive fighters and can provide a fun challenge. Check local fishing reports for specific locations where spots have been caught recently.
