Neuse River/Pamlico Sound Tarpon Charters
Neuse River, NC Tarpon Charters
Traditionally, tarpon fishing in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound has been centered around bait fishing. Yet, akin to trophy red drum fishing, Capt. Gary has developed a successful technique using artificial lures and fly-fishing. The tarpon found in the Neuse River are significant, typically weighing close to 100 pounds. It's crucial to distinguish tarpon fishing in the Neuse River from that in the Florida Keys. With the added opportunity to land trophy redfish, we eagerly offer full-day charters annually from July 1 to September 10.
