Striped Bass
While saltwater striped bass are more commonly associated with the Outer Banks, freshwater striped bass fishing opportunities exist near Cedar Point, North Carolina, particularly in the larger rivers and reservoirs further inland. Focus your efforts on the Neuse River and its tributaries, as well as large impoundments like Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake (requiring a drive). These reservoirs are stocked and support a healthy population. Spring and fall are the best times to target these fish, as they move upstream to spawn or gorge before winter. Trolling with crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and submerged structure can be effective. A key to success is finding the baitfish, as the stripers will follow their food source. Pay attention to water temperature and clarity, as these factors can influence striper behavior. Always check the current regulations regarding size and creel limits for striped bass before heading out.
