Offshore Structure


Underwater Humps


Spotted bass can be found roaming around these underwater humps offshore.  At times, they may be on top of the hump, other times on the edge and other times out in deeper water close to the underwater humps.  To fish these spots better, it helps to have a good fish finder.  You can pull up to these spots and see if there are any fish on them and where the fish are located.  On some of these spots, if you are off by 20 to feet or so, it can be the difference in catching a limit or catching zero.

The best underwater humps will have rock on them, but don’t rule out weeds either because on some lakes, spotted bass relate to the weeds quite a bit too.


Islands


The islands are the easiest offshore structure to fish because you can find them with your eyes.  You don’t need any additional technology to find these spots.  The downside of that is that all the other anglers can find them easily too, so they will usually get pressured more than an underwater hump offshore.  Islands are great for spotted bass, especially if there is some deep water around them with some cover such as weeds, rocks and wood.
