Local Species Insights: Striped Bass

Striped bass thrive in the Neuse River's brackish waters, where they feed aggressively on baitfish around structure and moving currents. These powerful fighters are known for their drag-peeling runs, especially when targeted with light tackle during the fall season. The topwater bite has been consistent lately, with fish responding well to both live bait and artificial lures. Around New Bern, striped bass move with the tides and concentrate near drop-offs and current breaks, making them prime targets for drift fishing and bottom fishing techniques.
