Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, while not as abundant as largemouth, can be found in some of the freshwater systems near Wachapreague. These fish often share the same habitat as largemouth, but they tend to prefer slightly deeper water and areas with more current. Targeting them specifically requires a slightly different approach. Focus on creek channels and areas with rocky or gravel bottoms. Smaller crankbaits and jigs fished slowly along the bottom can be effective. Spring and fall are good times to target spotted bass, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. A valuable local tip is to use your electronics to locate submerged structure or changes in depth, as spotted bass often relate to these features. They are generally smaller than largemouth bass in this region, but their aggressive strikes make them a fun target. Remember to check local regulations for any specific size or creel limits on spotted bass.
