Had my best day of the year today. Did not catch a bunch but the ones I did catch were some good ones. Ended up keeping 17. I think one or two would go almost 2.5 or 3lbs. Eno river.

Nice fish, congratulations. Thanks for the report with pics!
from bank or boat?
Nice catch buzz bait,I bet the bigger ones really put up a fight.Did you catch them casting or trolling? I enjoy trolling and catching them. I caught one last week on cut bait on the bottom while trying for stripers,,I can't ever recall catching a white bass on cut bait,,even when the lake I fish( wateree) had a good population of whites. Thanks for sharing the pics and report.
for those of us that don't know would someone tell us the difference in white bass, white perch, and baby stripers?

Bear, I caught all of those from the bank. Stood in one spot for about 3 hrs. Casting rooster tail and small jerk bait. I use a 6' ultra light with 6lb line. Those big ones put up a heck of a fight. They will double over that ultra light. I LOVE IT!!!
So that's why Falls Lake dropped about 2 feet! Nice Catch maybe I'll be able to sneak away and get some this weekend!
Very nice fish. Thanks for sharing.
Wow very nice and glad to hear they are still biting. By any chance people catching at the pool?
Great go, do it again, good post!!!
All of them were caught in the large pool at the parking lot. I have been 2 times since then and only managed a few small ones. Those big ones bit for 2 days and were gone. Took the poles out of the car Saturday afternoon. Wife was happy until she seen me hooking the boat up. Going to be spending some time in Weldon the next 4 weeks!!!Quote:

BUZZZZ
BUZZ,keep us posted on some current Roanoke River reports.I look foreward to reading the Thursday's report on the NC wildelifes page. Looks like the Tar River is getting some nice stripers in it.I know there's several on the NC board that fishes Weldon that shares some fishing info .I think I'm the only SC member that goes north Weldon. I always try to help folks out with information on Weldon.
Will do Bear!!
I did well on the white bass on Fri morning and then hardly anything on Sun morning.
The stripers are starting to show in Weldon but the bulk are still downstream between Scotland Neck and Hamilton.
Anyone know if white still biting st PB? I'm
About to head out there right now and see if there still actions going on. Any info deeply appreciated
Fished the Eno and Flat Thursday from the boat caught a few small males. The water temp was 68F. Caught plenty of perch and a gar. Later went to PB the water was very shallow, caught on small male. A fellow that went past the corn fields caught 5. The previous week slayed the white bass (photo). Maybe the rain will allow the fish swim up, they can't even get pass the pool.Attachment 236581Attachment 236582
Caught these today. Still some to be had. Attachment 236629
