Striped Bass
Striped bass in the Roanoke River near Aulander, NC, offer an exciting angling experience. These fish migrate up the river from the Albemarle Sound to spawn, making the spring months (March-May) the peak season. However, a fall run can also provide opportunities. Focus your efforts on areas with current, such as near bridge pilings or river bends. Live bait, like alewives or shad, is highly effective when fished on a Carolina rig. Artificial lures, such as swimbaits and crankbaits, can also produce strikes. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish are known for their powerful runs. Numerous boat ramps provide access to the river, but be mindful of seasonal closures and regulations specific to striped bass fishing. Keep an eye on water temperatures, as the stripers tend to be more active in cooler water. Also, check the Roanoke River water release schedule from upstream dams, as it can significantly impact river levels and fishing conditions.
