Spotted Bass
Nacogdoches, Texas, offers some excellent spotted bass fishing in its freshwater rivers and lakes, particularly Lake Nacogdoches and the Angelina River. These waterways provide the woody structure and varied habitat that spots thrive in. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, especially during the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods when they're actively feeding. Focus your efforts around docks, submerged timber, and rocky points. Local anglers often have success with Texas-rigged worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits worked around these structures. A practical tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use more natural-looking baits and lighter line. If it's stained, opt for brighter colors and heavier line. The spotted bass here are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, making for a memorable fishing experience.
