Striped Bass
While not as widely known for Striped Bass as some other North Carolina locales, Bostic offers access to some surprisingly good striper fishing opportunities, particularly in Lake Lure. This mountain lake, fed by the Broad River, holds a landlocked population of stripers. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the fish follow baitfish schools. Trolling with live bait or artificial lures can be effective. A local trick is to target stripers near the dam or in the deeper channels during the day, as they tend to hold in these areas. Be aware that Lake Lure can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. Also, check the local fishing regulations, as there may be specific size and creel limits for striped bass. Using electronics to locate baitfish schools will significantly increase your chances of success.
