Finally, spots are much more willing to suspend as compared to the other black bass species. And since they nest deeper their beds often remain in the water when largemouth and smallmouth beds are high and dry. This means that they often spawn before the competition. Not only do spots spawn colder than largemouths and smallmouths, they also spawn deeper. Second, our canyon reservoirs are prone to spring drawdowns. This means they keep on consuming and growing when the competing bass are somewhat dormant. First, spots seem to feed more than either smallmouths or largemouths when the water drops into the lower 50s. But before we do let's take a look at why spots have been so successful in our waters. In a moment, we'll explore some of the Golden State's best spotted bass destinations. Yet, in terms of both the number of fish available and the trophy potential they now offer at a number of notable lakes, the net result of introducing spots to California waters seems positive. Some anglers lament the introduction of spots into California waters because they have had an undeniable impact on our beloved smallmouths. First they seemed to displace the smallmouth population, and then they started growing really large feeding on the lake's robust population of kokanee salmon.
