The clouds rolled in and the Bass started biting… most were in 15’ water right off docks near the main channel. Cold front rolled in but so did the cold beverages…

I believe some people call them black bass

ncduck Loc: North Carolina

Yes, I think you are correct. Lake Norman has a lot of what we call “spots” … it’s a very aggressive “black bass” … a buddy of mine knows more about these things and he says there’s like 10 species of black bass including largemouth bass which apparently are used to cross breed some of these local kinds of black bass. All I know when a spot hits your bait it’s not a tap, those spots smack the crap out of it!

I believe you're correct Duck. "Black Bass" is like the family name for the 10 or 12 subspecies that make up this branch of the "Sunfish" family. That includes LM, SM, Spotted, Kentucky, Florida, etc.

Thanks Fred, that makes sense - Thank you

Now when someone asked me what I am fishing for I can tell them “Black Bass” so whatever I pretty much catch falls under the the Black Bass category and it looks like I really know what I am doing. Yeah that’s what I was fishing for!

May not work for Catfish though, unless that’s one of them there “whiskerd black bass”...
