Adrenaline-Fueled Striped Bass Chase on the Neuse River Delivers Unforgettable Angling Bliss

It was a beautiful April day when Taylor joined me out on the water for some fantastic inshore fishing around New Bern, North Carolina. The Neuse River is truly a special fishery, and this time of year is prime for targeting a variety of species like Striped Bass and Spotted Seatrout. With clear skies and great water conditions, we knew we were in for an action-packed day.

As we launched the boat from Lawson Creek Park and started working the river, it didn't take long before the rods started bending. We tried a mix of techniques, from fly fishing to baitcasting, to see what the fish were keying in on. The Striped Bass were hitting our lures aggressively, putting up a great fight and showing off their impressive size and power. In between the Stripers, we also managed to hook into some nice Spotted Seatrout, which put on an impressive aerial display before we carefully released them back into the river.

This Trip is One Click Away

The fishing stayed consistent throughout the day, and it was just a pleasure being out on the water. Between the great scenery, comfortable boat, and the satisfaction of tight lines, it was the perfect way to spend a day. I've been guiding these waters for over 40 years, and I still get excited every time I get to share the Neuse River with anglers like Taylor. There's nothing quite like watching someone experience the thrill of catching their first Striped Bass or Spotted Seatrout.

If you're looking to get in on the amazing inshore fishing that New Bern has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters.
