Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass in the freshwater reaches near Winfall, NC, can be an exciting challenge. These fish migrate into the rivers and creeks from the Albemarle Sound, creating a unique opportunity for anglers. The best time to target them is typically during the spring spawning run, although some fish remain in the area year-round. Focus your efforts on areas with current, such as bridges and creek mouths. Live bait, such as alewives or shad, can be extremely effective, but artificial lures like swimbaits and crankbaits can also produce results. A popular access point is the Cashie River, offering boat ramps and shoreline access. Be sure to check the local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can change frequently to manage the striped bass population. Be aware that the water can be murky at times, so use lures with good vibration or scent.
