Onslow Bay Guide Services – Weldon

Known as the “Rockfish Capital”, Weldon, NC is a must-see location for all anglers! Located near the NC/VA border on the Roanoke River, many striped bass migrate here to spawn. April-May are the best months to target these fish. Days of 30-70 striped bass are the norm for Weldon; however, catching over 100 fish is a common occurrence. I generally target these fish with spinning gear using artificial lures. Fly fishing and live bait equipment can be provided upon request. My boat has room for 3 anglers, so bring a friend and enjoy some spring fishing!

Weldon is perfect for everyone! Kids will enjoy the steady action, and experienced anglers can use advanced techniques!

I'm Captain Will Newman. I grew up fishing the Wilmington coast and feel lucky to call the Onslow Bay waters home. As a kid, my dad and I would spend countless hours fishing for Red Drum and Flounder in the sound. Over time, I developed a fascination with offshore fishing. This fascination turned into an obsession after I caught my first Mahi. Since then, I knew this is what I wanted to do in my life. My dream became a reality when I obtained my USCG Captain License and founded Onslow Bay Guide Services. I aim to share my passion and fishing expertise with all my guests, regardless of their fishing level!
