Striped Bass
Chasing striped bass around East Bend, North Carolina, means heading to the Yadkin River. This river system supports a landlocked striped bass population, offering a unique freshwater angling experience. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, coinciding with their spawning runs and feeding frenzies. Look for stripers near the dams and in the deeper pools of the river. Live bait, such as shad or alewives, is highly effective, but artificial lures like swimbaits and crankbaits can also produce results. Several public access points provide opportunities to fish from the bank or launch a boat, although some areas may be better suited for smaller vessels due to shallow water and rocky conditions. Be aware of the current, which can be strong in certain sections of the river. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for striped bass, as they may vary. Targeting these hard-fighting fish in the Yadkin River is a rewarding challenge for any angler.
