Spotted Bass
While Urbanna, Virginia, is better known for its saltwater species, freshwater tributaries feeding into the Rappahannock River do hold spotted bass. These fish are not as abundant as largemouth, but dedicated anglers can find them. Focus your efforts on creeks and smaller rivers with structure like fallen trees, docks, and rocky outcroppings. Spring and fall are the best times, as spotted bass are more active in cooler water. A productive technique is using small crankbaits or spinnerbaits worked around cover. A local angler secret is to target the areas where the freshwater meets the brackish water of the Rappahannock, as spotted bass will often hold in these transition zones. Access can be limited, so research public access points and be respectful of private property. Spotted bass in this area typically range from 1-3 pounds, offering a fun challenge for light tackle enthusiasts.
