First time to New Bern - Pamlico fishing?

[BamBam]

My family & I are headed to New Bern for the first time. My Dad & I would like to do some fishing around that area. My Dad has a 17' Key West flats boat.

Would guys be willing to share any tips for fishing in this area? What's biting right now? Dead bait, artificials, or live bait? Any info you can share would be appreciated.

We mostly fish in FL around Stuart & in Key Largo. If any of you ever decide to fish down that way, I would be glad to share tips.

Thanks!
