Local Species Insights: Striped Bass
Striped bass thrive in the Neuse River's brackish waters, using the current and structure to ambush baitfish throughout the tidal cycle. These fish respond well to both live bait presentations and artificial lures, particularly when worked near drop-offs and current seams where they stage to feed. Fall fishing around New Bern produces consistent action as stripers move through the system following schools of menhaden and other forage fish.
