Spotted Bass
While Kerr Lake (Buggs Island Lake) is renowned for its largemouth, Virgilina, Virginia, also offers excellent spotted bass fishing. Spotted bass thrive in the clearer, deeper waters and rocky structure often overlooked by largemouth anglers. Look for them around rocky points, submerged ledges, and riprap along the dam. Spring and fall are productive, but spotted bass can be caught year-round with the right techniques. Finesse tactics like drop-shotting and shaky-head rigs are particularly effective. A key local insight: spotted bass in Kerr Lake tend to school, so if you catch one, stay put and work the area thoroughly. Be aware that spotted bass are often mistaken for young largemouth, so familiarize yourself with the identifying characteristics. They are generally smaller than largemouth in this lake, but it is not uncommon to catch them over 3 pounds.
