Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass in the freshwater reaches around Grifton, NC, offers a unique angling experience. The Neuse River, flowing nearby, supports a landlocked population of stripers that provide exciting action. While not as large as their coastal counterparts, these fish can still reach impressive sizes. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the stripers become more active with the changing water temperatures. Focus your efforts around deeper holes, creek mouths, and areas with current. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits are popular techniques. Live bait, such as shad or eels, can also be very effective. Be mindful of the regulations, as size and creel limits apply. Many anglers launch from the public ramp at Lawson Creek Park in nearby New Bern and run upriver. The water can be murky, so using lures with rattles or bright colors can help stripers find your presentation. Be prepared for a fight; these freshwater stripers are known for their aggressive strikes.
