Striper Fishing With The Crazy Man

Joined Crappiekrazy and his friends Darin and Jimmy for a trip to the Roanoke River 4/20/14.

Lots of rain had the river high, dingy and running fast. Add the high winds and the fishing was a challenge. Still we anchored in the mouths of several feeder creeks and ended up catching 50-60 stripers this size on Sunday. Unfortunately they were all about 1/2 inch shy of keeper status. Still, had a great time and did manage a couple to bring home.

That was howling yesterday!

Thanks for wetting my appetite!! Heading up in the morning!! Looks like y'all had some fun.

Take a kid outdoors!

I saw Crazy man in the topic. I thought you went fishing with chief. Lol

Looking at that crowd the people ought to be in stripes, not the fish.


Way to go guys. I didn't see where Jack went, was he not invited this time?

Jack stayed home but Evan showed up the night before and afterwards.

Can we buy bait at the landing this year?

They are selling them at the Pondarosa campground on the left just before coming into Weldon on Hwy. 158.

Great report Gary. I wish it could have been nicer weather, but that's how it goes. I enjoyed seeing you and look forward to May when we can go catch the other fish with stripes!! LOL.
