Making this post for the guys in the north east like me that have never had the pleasure of chasing spotted bass. I'm wondering what the best lake would be that's worth traveling to from up here to catch good spots.
The closest spotted bass would probably be the small 500-1500 acre lakes in VA and WV, but that doesn't sound like its worth traveling for
Next closest would be NC and KY
After that would be TN GA and SC
Personally I think March-early April of 2025 I'll be making a week out of this trip. So if time of year is a factor for the best location assume March-April. Lanier/Hartwell have been dream destinations for me. Is the drive all the way there worth it?
