Some of the most common species include largemouth bass, speckled perch, bluegill, speckled trout, striped bass, flounder, redfish, yellow perch, and white perch. Different seasons bring different fish, offering an exciting and diverse fishing experience for our clients.

Seasonal Fishing Opportunities

In early spring, there is great speckled trout fishing in the Elizabeth River Hot Ditch. In the rivers of the Albemarle Sound, there is abundant crappie fishing and striped bass fishing can be excellent in both the rivers and the sound. Largemouth bass fishing can also be good during this time.

In summer, there are lots of bottom feeders to fish for including croaker, spot, puppy drum, white perch, and flounder. Stripers and largemouth bass can also be caught if you go looking for them.

In fall, Striped Bass fishing picks back up, and it is not uncommon to have 100 fish days with stripers schooling in the Albemarle Sound and its tributaries. This can be great fishing for fly fisherman as well. The speckled trout also start showing back up in the Elizabeth River Hot Ditch.

In winter, Striped Bass in the rivers and the sound can be excellent along with yellow perch. The trout fishing in the Elizabeth River can also be great.

Other Services

In addition to fishing charters, we also offer Outer Banks crabbing charters, boat tours throughout the area, and kayak tours and rentals. If there is something particular you want to see or experience by water in northeastern North Carolina, give us a call.

About Captain Jeff

"I enjoy taking families fishing for their first time. Having kids myself, I have lots of experience instructing them how to use the fishing equipment, and what to do when one bites! Although, the experienced fisherman, looking for that trophy catch, is welcome too." - Captain Jeff
