Spotted Bass
While Largemouth often steal the spotlight, Sulphur Springs, Texas, offers some decent Spotted Bass fishing opportunities in its smaller lakes and creek systems. These feisty fish tend to prefer slightly clearer water and rockier bottoms compared to their Largemouth cousins. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, particularly when water temperatures are in the 60s and 70s. Look for them around rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels. A good technique is to use a Carolina rig with a lizard or a small crankbait. A local tip: many of the smaller creeks that feed into Lake Sulphur Springs hold good numbers of Spotted Bass, especially after a rain. Wading these creeks can be a productive and enjoyable way to fish. Remember to respect private property and obtain permission where necessary.
