Spotted Bass
Targeting Spotted Bass near Vidor, Texas, means exploring the freshwater tributaries and backwaters connected to the Neches River. While not as abundant as largemouth bass, spotted bass can be found in areas with clearer water and rocky or woody structure. Look for them in creeks like Pine Island Bayou and its associated smaller streams. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons. Try fishing around submerged logs, rock piles, and any areas with current. A helpful local tip: Focus on areas upstream from the main Neches River channel where the water tends to be less turbid. Also, consider using smaller crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms in natural colors. Spotted bass in this region often school together, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Their size is generally smaller than largemouth, but they can provide a fun and challenging fishing experience.
