Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass often steal the spotlight, Schertz, Texas anglers can also target Spotted Bass in the surrounding waterways. Canyon Lake, not far from Schertz, holds a healthy population of Spotted Bass, also known as Kentucky Bass. These fish tend to favor deeper, clearer water than Largemouth, often congregating around rocky points, bluffs, and submerged ledges. Spring and fall are productive times, but Spotted Bass can be caught year-round. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged worms are effective baits. A local tip: Pay close attention to the thermocline during the summer months, as Spotted Bass will often hold just above it. Look for areas with good water clarity, as Spotted Bass are sight feeders. Remember to check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for any specific limits or restrictions on Canyon Lake.
