Spotted Bass
If you're after Spotted Bass in East Texas, Scottsville offers some under-the-radar opportunities. Focus your efforts on Lake Murvaul, known for its standing timber and creek channels – perfect habitat for Spots. Spring and fall are prime times, with pre-spawn and post-spawn activity making the fish more aggressive. During the summer, target deeper structure and shaded areas to escape the Texas heat. A Texas-rigged worm or a crankbait worked around the timber can be deadly. Be aware that Murvaul can get crowded on weekends, so weekdays offer a more peaceful experience. The lake's relatively clear water makes sight fishing a viable option in the shallows during the spawn. There are several public boat ramps available, but be sure to check lake levels before you go, as drought conditions can impact access.
