Spotted Bass
Looking to tangle with some Spotted Bass near Sandy Oaks, Texas? You're in luck! While not as prevalent as Largemouth, Spotted Bass thrive in the clear, rocky waters of the Medina River and some of the smaller creeks feeding into Medina Lake. These fish prefer structure, so target submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Spring and fall offer the best action, as the fish are actively feeding. Summer can be productive early and late in the day. A Texas rig or Carolina rig with a crawfish or lizard imitation works wonders. For a more active approach, try crankbaits or spinnerbaits along the edges of cover. Be aware that access to the Medina River can be limited; research public access points beforehand, and always respect private property. Medina Lake offers boat ramps, but check lake levels as drought conditions can affect access. The Spotted Bass here average 1-3 pounds, but a 4+ pounder is definitely possible!
