Dr. Julie Ball reports striped bass are scattered from north of the Eastern Shore, down to Corolla, with some venturing as far as Duck, N.C. When targeting fish in Carolina waters, be aware that a North Carolina fishing license is required. Since fish are often pushed out of range past the 3-mile demarcation line, finding legal fish may be challenging. For good catch and release action, head for the islands and pilings of the CBBT, where anglers casting and jigging are releasing fish ranging up to 34 inches.
