Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing near O'Brien, Texas, requires a bit of exploration, as they aren't as prevalent as largemouth in the immediate vicinity. Look to the more riverine sections of nearby reservoirs or the creeks and streams that feed into them. Spotted bass tend to prefer areas with clearer water and more current than largemouth. Target rocky points, submerged timber, and areas with moderate flow. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as water temperatures are more favorable. Downsizing your presentation can be key; try using smaller jigs, finesse worms on a shaky head, or crankbaits that mimic smaller baitfish. A local tip is to focus on areas where the water transitions from shallow to deep quickly. While not as abundant as largemouth, the spotted bass in these waters can offer a fun challenge for anglers willing to put in the time to find them.
