That's Why They Call It Fishing
Half day Shad on March 18, 2025
Good trip, fishing not so great. I have fished this spot on the Roanoke for both shad and Rockfish for over 30 years. I have had great days and then some like we had yesterday. Good news is we caught 1 shad, and it was by the one in our group who had never even seen a shad in his life. Kind of made the trip! That day was the ONLY day we could go on this trip and we tried even though the conditions did not look promising. River had risen 10 feet overnight so visibility was poor with a lot of mud and debris, current was strong, and temperature was in the 30's. Captain Burrell, in my opinion, did everything right. We fished all the good spots in the main river channel, the little river, and even above the falls where the water levels were lower but the rocks are treacherous and you really have to know the river to avoid damage to your motor. I recommend Captain Burrell and I would like to give him another shot when the striped bass are back in Weldon.

Meet your captain
Weldon, North Carolina, United States
Being in the outdoors has always been a passion of Captain Caylin. From a kid fishing the rivers and tributaries of Virginia and North Carolina with his dad, he came to be a fishing guide. He's developed a love for the pursuit of that "Big One" that stories are made of. While the catch is always an important bonus, the time spent with family and friends making memories, laughing, and enjoying time away from the world is what it's all about. The captain became a fishing guide 10 years ago to help people achieve just that. There's something magical about watching the sunrise over a fog-covered stream, river, or lake that makes a person feel alive.
