Striped Bass
While not as abundant as their hybrid cousins, striped bass can be found in the waters around Burlington, NC, offering a thrilling challenge for anglers. Lake Cammack, while primarily known for largemouth and hybrid stripers, does hold a population of striped bass. Focus your efforts on deeper water, particularly near the dam, using live bait or trolling large crankbaits. Spring and fall are the best times to target these fish, as they tend to move shallower in search of cooler water and baitfish. Check the local fishing reports for stocking information from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, as this can influence the striper population. The striped bass in Lake Cammack tend to be more elusive than the hybrids, requiring patience and persistence. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of baitfish and stripers.
