Striped Bass
Littleton, North Carolina, provides excellent access to some of the best striped bass fishing in the state, thanks to its proximity to Lake Gaston. This reservoir is stocked annually with stripers, creating a thriving fishery. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the stripers follow baitfish schools throughout the lake. Trolling with bucktails, crankbaits, or live shad is a popular and effective technique. Look for stripers near the dam in the cooler months and then following the creeks as they move shallower in the spring. A great access point is the public boat ramp at the end of Eaton Ferry Bridge. Lake Gaston stripers can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a battle. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and creel limits for striped bass, as they can change seasonally.
