Spotted Bass
If you're looking for some exciting Spotted Bass action near Richmond, Texas, the Brazos River and its associated creeks are your best bet. While not as abundant as largemouth, the Brazos holds a healthy population of Spots that can provide a fun challenge. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged timber, rock piles, and bridge pilings, especially where there's current. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are moderate, and the fish are actively feeding. For bank access, try the various parks along the Brazos. If you're launching a boat, be aware of the fluctuating river levels, especially after heavy rains, which can make navigation tricky. The Spots here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics. Don't be afraid to downsize your presentation if they're finicky; these Brazos River spots can be a bit more selective than their reservoir cousins.
