  • FRANKFORT, Ky
    FRANKFORT, Ky. - They were not even recognized as a distinctive fish species until 1927. People for many years believed these fish only existed in Kentucky. In 1956, the Kentucky legislature designated this species the "Kentucky bass" and made them the official state fish. Many anglers, especially in the south-central portion of the United States, still call the spotted bass a Kentucky bass. They pale in reputation to their black bass cousins, the largemouth and smallmouth bass, but the spunk shown once hooked and their abundance should raise the profile of the overlooked spotted bass. They are also aggressive and readily strike lures. It isn't hard to tell when a spotted bass strikes. They shake their heads violently and dive bomb toward the bottom. The larger ones 15 inches and up usually grow a pronounced belly as they mature. Spotted bass use that girth along with a powerful tail against an angler while playing the fish, producing as good a fight as any comparable largemouth bass. Medium-light spinning rods with reels spooled with 6-pound fluorocarbon line is all you need for catching spotted bass. Once the fall winds blow, spotted bass begin to school up. They locate along rock bluffs or they suspend over points, submerged humps or channel drops. "At this time of year, if you catch one spotted bass, keep fishing that same spot," said Chad Miles, administrative director of the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation and dedicated spotted bass angler. "There might be 40 or 50 of them there. Spotted bass really school up in fall." In early to mid fall, these schools of spots often trap a cloud of shad against the surface and rip into them.

  • Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding the White Bass Runs
    Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lee McClellan [email protected] 1-800-858-1549, ext. 4443 Kentucky Afield Outdoors: Decoding The White Bass Runs (Editors: This is the third installment of the “Spring Fishing Fever” series of articles, detailing productive fishing techniques and opportunities across Kentucky. The series will continue until early summer. An archive of past articles is available on the department’s website at www.fw.ky.gov). FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 21, 2019) – With all of the rain we received early this year, many Kentuckians are wondering when will the white bass run. “We are about there, 60 degrees is the magic number for water temperature,” said Mike Hardin, assistant director of Fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The redbud blooms are as good an indicator as anything.” Redbud trees began displaying buds in parts of central Kentucky over the past 10 days. “We haven’t missed anything yet and the run may arrive on time this year,” Hardin said. “Last year was spotty, starts and stops with the fish as confused as the anglers. We had up and down weather and water levels.” Reports surfaced last week of a few white bass making a headwater run in the Salt River above Taylorsville Lake, but nighttime temperatures in the 20s this week blunted that movement a bit. “This week, the night temperatures are increasing, so you won’t get those big cool downs as much now,” Hardin said. “It will be warmer compared to what it was.” Lakes are dropping dramatically, allaying concerns expressed by anglers about the impact on the white bass runs from the record or near record water levels in some of our major reservoirs in February.
