Spotted Bass
If you're after Spotted Bass in the Nocona, Texas area, your focus should be on Lake Nocona. While largemouth get more attention, this lake holds a decent population of Spots. Look for them around rocky points, bluffs, and any areas with current. They tend to prefer slightly clearer water than largemouth. Spring and fall are the best times to target them. A Carolina rig or a small crankbait worked along the rocks can be very effective. One local tip: pay attention to the wind direction. Spotted bass often congregate on the windward side of points and structures. Spotted bass in Lake Nocona average a respectable size and can provide a fun alternative to largemouth fishing.
