Spotted Bass
If you're looking for Spotted Bass in the Williamsburg, Virginia area, focus your attention on the Chickahominy River and its associated creeks. This tidal river system provides ideal habitat for Spots, with plenty of submerged structure like fallen trees, docks, and grass beds. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. A local tip: Pay close attention to the tide charts. Spotted Bass tend to be more active during periods of moving water, especially around creek mouths and points. Launching from Chickahominy Riverfront Park provides excellent access to productive areas. The Spotted Bass in this river system are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight. They may not reach trophy sizes, but the sheer numbers and willingness to bite make for an exciting day on the water.
