Spotted Bass
Pearisburg, Virginia, might be better known for other species, but the spotted bass population in the New River is quietly thriving. These feisty fighters offer a unique challenge for anglers willing to explore. The best time to target spotted bass is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They tend to congregate around rocky structures, ledges, and current breaks within the river. Downsizing your presentation can be key here. Try using smaller crankbaits, jigs, or soft plastics that mimic crawfish or small baitfish. Focus on areas with moderate current, as spotted bass are ambush predators. A great access point is the Eggleston Boat Ramp on the New River; from there, you can navigate to various rocky sections. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for spotted bass, as they may differ from largemouth or smallmouth bass.
