Striped Bass
If you're looking to hook into striped bass in northeastern North Carolina, the Roanoke River near Rich Square offers a fantastic freshwater opportunity. While most associate stripers with saltwater, the Roanoke boasts a healthy landlocked population that makes its annual spawning run upstream. Spring (March-May) is prime time, as the stripers migrate to spawn. Look for them around the Weldon area, which is easily accessible and a popular spot. Many anglers launch boats at the Weldon boat ramp or fish from the shore. Be aware of the currents, which can be strong, and always check water levels before you go. Anglers often find success trolling with bucktails or casting crankbaits in the deeper holes. The Roanoke stripers are known for their fighting spirit, so hold on tight! The fish in this area are typically smaller than their saltwater cousins, but a trophy fish over 20 pounds is always a possibility. Remember to check the NC Wildlife Resources Commission regulations for size and creel limits before you head out.
