Spotted Bass
For spotted bass enthusiasts, Willis, Texas, offers convenient access to Lake Conroe, which holds a healthy population of these often-overlooked fish. While largemouth get most of the attention, the spots in Conroe can provide consistent action, especially for anglers who know their habits. Spotted bass tend to prefer deeper, clearer water than largemouth, and they often congregate around rocky points, submerged timber, and deeper docks. Targeting them in the fall and winter can be particularly effective. A local tactic is to use a Carolina rig with a small plastic worm or lizard, dragging it slowly along the bottom. Lake Conroe's spotted bass aren't typically as large as the largemouth, but they are scrappy fighters. Don't be afraid to downsize your line and lure size to increase your chances of getting bites. The lower lake near the dam is often a good place to start your search.
