Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Cedar Rock, NC, is a pursuit best enjoyed during the cooler months. The Roanoke River and its associated impoundments offer the best chance to hook into these powerful fish. Spring and fall are particularly productive as stripers migrate upstream to spawn or follow baitfish schools. Consider fishing near the dams and bridges where stripers often congregate. Live bait, such as shad or herring, is a popular and effective choice. Trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or casting large swimbaits can also produce results. Be aware of the strong currents and potential for submerged structure. Many anglers launch boats from the Weldon area to access the Roanoke River. Note that striped bass regulations can be complex, so always consult the current NC Wildlife Resources Commission guidelines before heading out. The Roanoke River stripers are known for their size and fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle!
