Spotted Bass
Spotted bass aren't as widely distributed as largemouth in Virginia, but you might encounter them while fishing around Keller, particularly in the tidal freshwater reaches. While not the primary target species, they can add a fun surprise to your day. Focus on the areas where creeks and rivers meet the Chesapeake Bay tributaries. These transition zones often hold a mix of species, including spotted bass. Look for rocky bottoms or areas with current breaks. Small crankbaits and spinnerbaits that mimic local baitfish are effective. Spring and fall, mirroring the largemouth patterns, are generally the most productive times. A key tip for this area is to use your electronics to locate submerged structure, as the spotted bass tend to congregate around these areas. Don't be surprised if you catch a mix of largemouth and spotted bass in the same area. While the spotted bass here might not reach trophy sizes, they're still a worthy catch.
