Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, while not as abundant as largemouth, offer a unique challenge for anglers fishing near Princeton, Texas. Lavon Lake is the primary location to target them. Focus your efforts on rocky points, submerged humps, and deeper structure along the main lake. These fish are often found in areas with clearer water compared to where largemouth bass may be holding. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. A local tip: try using crankbaits or Carolina-rigged soft plastics to cover water and locate fish. Spotted bass in Lavon Lake tend to be smaller than largemouth, with most fish weighing between 1 and 3 pounds, but they are aggressive fighters. Be prepared for a strong fight when you hook one. Be aware of any local tournaments that may be scheduled, as they can impact access to certain areas of the lake.
