Striped Bass
While not as widely known, striped bass (or stripers) can be found in the Cape Fear River near Falcon, NC, particularly after stocking efforts. These fish migrate upriver, and while the population isn't as robust as in coastal waters, they offer a thrilling challenge for anglers. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, coinciding with their migratory patterns. Look for them in deeper channels and near structure like bridges and dams. Casting large swimbaits or trolling with crankbaits can be effective. The area below Lock and Dam #1 is a known striper holding area. Be aware of the strong currents in the river and use appropriate tackle. A medium-heavy rod and reel with braided line are recommended. Always consult the NC Wildlife Resources Commission regulations for current size and creel limits, as they can change frequently. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature and clarity, as these factors can significantly impact striper activity.
