The Neuse River has outstanding redfishing! Our Neuse River fishing charters chases redfish most of the year with a peak season for our redfishing is May through October, although our winter fishing has been dynamite the last several years! We offer both light tackle and fly-fishing charters and fish for reds from both New Bern and Oriental. Our redfish are often found with specks and stripers or trophy reds during the late summer months. Contact us for questions and open dates.
Stripers are one of big 3 targets on our Neuse River fishing charters. Neuse River striped bass are "estuarine" fish, another words, they spend most of their lives in the river system and do not migrate to the ocean. Thus, they are available to catch all year except when they are on their spring spawning run up the Neuse River. Peak fishing is October through March, May and June with the best topwater fishing occurring in May through October. Typically, our trips are not strictly a striper fishing guide as reds and speckled trout are often in the same mix. Contact us for questions and open dates.
