Local Species Insights: Spotted Bass

Spotted bass thrive in Lake Lanier's clear, structured waters where rocky points, submerged timber, and creek channels provide ideal habitat. These aggressive fighters prefer depths of 10-30 feet during March as water temperatures begin warming, making them accessible to various fishing techniques. Captain Brad targets spotted bass using finesse presentations around structure, with soft plastics and small jigs proving most effective. The species responds well to moving baits when actively feeding, particularly during early morning and late afternoon periods when they venture into shallower areas to hunt baitfish.
