Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Weldon has earned its reputation as the "Rockfish Capital of the World" thanks to the annual striped bass migration. Each spring, massive numbers of stripers move upstream from Albemarle Sound to spawn in the rocky sections of the Roanoke River. The best fishing typically occurs from late March through May, with a secondary fall run that can be productive as well.
Captain Nick specializes in both artificial lure presentations and live bait techniques that are proven effective for Weldon's striped bass. The river's current, structure, and seasonal patterns all influence where these fish hold and how they feed. Our guided trips focus on reading these conditions and adapting tactics to maximize your chances of hooking into trophy stripers that make Weldon a bucket-list destination for serious anglers.
