Striped Bass
Targeting Striped Bass in the freshwater portions around Vandemere, NC, requires understanding their migratory patterns in the Pamlico River system. While primarily a saltwater species, Stripers make their way upriver in the spring to spawn. Focus your efforts during this time, particularly around the mouths of creeks and areas with current. Fall is also a great time as stripers move back into the river from the sound. A boat is almost essential for effectively covering water. The public ramp at the end of Main Street provides good access. Live bait, such as shad or eels, is highly effective, but artificial lures like swimbaits and crankbaits also work well. Be mindful of the regulations, as Striped Bass seasons and size limits can change frequently. Local anglers often target stripers near the Highway 17 bridge due to the deeper water and current flow. The Pamlico River Stripers are known for their aggressive feeding habits, making for an exciting angling experience.
