Weldon fishing

PLENTY of shad at Weldon. Anna and I stopped in and fished for an hour off the bank, caught over 30, but only 2 roes and a white perch. Things are going to be red hot by the time I get settled in for the stripers in a few weeks. Still a handful of openings for Roanoke stripers and May/June cobia......I recommend making some reservations now.

For those of you venturing up the river to Weldon, here are a couple of very helpful websites....
