Just wondering if anyone fished the Roanoke River for stripers this past weekend? I'm this coming weekend. It will be my first trip to the Roanoke and was just wondering if I should head right for Weldon or if it would make more sense to fish in the lower river, ie Williamston or Plymouth area? Just wondering if the water is warm enough yet for the fish to be there. Thanks for any info

I'm also going to the Roanoke in April. I've never fished there before but have been doing some research. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission posts a weekly river fishing report on Thursdays. Also they have a striper guide for the roanoke on their website. Not having fished there before I don't know how reliable the info is but it makes sense to me. Being a newbie I can't post links but just do a Google search for "Fishing for Striped Bass on the Roanoke River" and it should be the first hit. Good luck!

Amazing, I have the same boat (except I have the bench seats). I have purchased a trolling motor to mount on the bow and have been searching the web for ideas on how best to accomplish it. Your idea appears to work. I have a couple of questions though. Did you bolt the plywood to the top lip of the wall or to the hull itself? Also Did you bolt the aluminum supports under the plywood to the hull? Or just make the fit snug to the width of the bow? Any more pictures of the bow mount for the trolling motor would be appreciated. By the way you did an amazing job on the entire boat! I'm jealous.
