Redfish
Oriental North Carolina has some of the finest
redfishing anywhere, but don’t take my word
for it. World class anglers have fished with me
over the years and they have all enjoyed their
days chasing one of the South East’s most
popular game fish. Bob Clouser, George Poveromo,
Captain Gary and Wanda Taylor, Tom Earnhardt,
and Fishy Fullum are a few of the hundreds of
anglers who have taken redfish in our waters.
Whether you are a light tackle angler, a fly
fisherman, or a trophy hunter, join me from
March through November
for great day of redfishing.
Spec Fever also
offers redfish trips along the Crystal Coast,
including amazing winter site fishing!
False
albacore
The famed waters of Harkers Island are a short
distance from Oriental. I offer full day trips
for false albacore each November. By what ever name; albacore,
core, fat Albert, little tunny, they are a
thrill on a fly rod. Try a late October or
November day on albacore and the next on
redfish, stripers and seatrout near
Oriental, North Carolina.
Flounder
Flounder fishing in North Carolina is available
in our waters much of the year, typically from
April into December. Most of the flounder we catch
are in very shallow water and are taken in those
same areas as redfish and seatrout. A big surprise
to many anglers are the number of flounder caught
on fly.
Giant
Red drum and Tarpon
The Neuse River and the Pamlico Sound are home
to some of the largest red drum (redfish) in the
world. Every summer from August through September
huge 40 inch plus reds visit our area. This very consistent catch and release fishery
gives an angler and chance to catch the redfish
of of lifetime, over and over again. You may
have seen George Poveromo and my ESPN 2 show on
these monsters or perhaps on another program.
If you have you know how exciting it can be. if
not, come experience it for yourself. We
offer both full and evening trips for these
giant red drum. Tarpon also visit our area
every July and August. You can combine a full
day of tarpon and drum fishing for a big game
adventure.
Shad
Don’t let cabin fever set in! Grab a fly
or ultra light rod and catch a mess of shad. Nicknamed
the “poor man’s tarpon”, these
wonder silver game fish pull and jump. Spec Fever
offers trips in late February and March for hickory and American
shad on the Neuse River. Shad trips can be
combined with stripers, catfish and a variety of
pan fish and bass.
Speckled
seatrout
The company’s name “Spec Fever”
came from my passion for speckled seatrout
fishing. North Carolina offers some mighty fine
speck fishing! Our season starts in mid March, much earlier
than most. In the April 2004 issue of Salt
Water Sportsman's magazine, Joel Arrington’s
article “Spring Break Specks” points
that out nicely, when it states “The spring
speck fishing comes alive before other mid-Atlantic
fisheries.” Late March, April, late May,
June and mid-September to mid-December are the
best time for speck fishing in our area.
Striped
Bass
Stripers are available year
round on the Neuse river. These estuarine fish
average 2 to 8 pounds with the occasional double
digit fish. The peak of the season is fall,
winter and spring with the best top water bite
occurring in October, November and December. We hope
you caught ESPN's George Poveromo's World of
Saltwater Fishing, New Bern episode and enjoyed the
action. Better yet, give us a
shout and we'll get you into some great striper
fishing of your own!
Spec Fever also
fishes for Black drum, bluefish, Atlantic bonito,
Spanish and king mackerel, cobia, amber jack, gray
trout (weakfish), largemouth bass, pickerel, white
perch, crappie and catfiish.
