Neuse River Fishing Charters

Neuse River Fishing Charters

Spec Fever Guide Service offers New Bern & Oriental fishing trips, year-round. Our Neuse River fishing charters are perfect for both fly fishing and light tackle anglers. Striped bass, redfish and spotted seatrout are our mainstays, but we also target flounder, bluefish, gray trout and black drum.  Additionally, we can fish for many freshwater species out of New Bern including crappie, white and yellow perch, largemouth bass, catfish, pickerel, hickory and American shad often with a mix of saltwater fish. We also target trophy redfish and tarpon from July to October; please see those pages.
