Bass are aggressive feeders and agile enough to chase down and
catch most of their favorite foods. They are most easily caught
during a feeding spree but can be enticed into striking an anglers
bait for reasons other than hunger. They are predatory by nature
and at times will strike at anything that enters their world. They
are also territorial and at times strike anything that ventures
into their domain. If it moves and they can get it into their large
mouth, bass will attempt to eat it.


Spotted Bass

lines, they are found primarily in the southeastern
states. Spotted bass are often called Kentucky bass, Kentucky spotted
bass, Alabama spotted bass and Kentucky spots. It prefers warmer water
temperatures from 70 to 78 degrees. They have a smaller mouth
than the largemouth so use lure sizes similar to smallmouth
tackle. They feed on smaller fish as well as insects, crustaceans,
frogs and worms.
