Local Species Insights: Spotted Bass

Spotted bass thrive in Lake Lanier's clear, structured waters where they relate to rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels. These aggressive fighters prefer depths of 15-30 feet during summer months, making them ideal targets for vertical jigging and deep-diving crankbaits. In June, spotted bass move to main lake structure as water temperatures stabilize, providing consistent action for anglers who understand their seasonal patterns. Their distinctive spotted sides and smaller mouth compared to largemouth bass make them easily identifiable, while their fighting ability pound-for-pound exceeds most other bass species.
