Big Striper in New Bern

This is probably one of my favorite trips and I didnt even catch a fish:) We were asked by WRNS to take out a blind date fishing and we couldnt pass on that. We went into the neuse and suprisingly found some REALLY nice striper. The bait has moved up the neuse river into new bern and the fishing is heating up. Look for bait and sharp drop offs and fish the drop off for some really nice tugs. We ended up with 8-9 fish with 3 over 27" It was so good that I had to go back last night and landed my personal best of 31.5" I will try and get that video up soon. All the big fish were caught on the wobble head with honeyhole eels in the olive color.

Thats what I'm saying!!! I tell ya he was a little too interested in the fishing and the woman was a little left out :) Hey thats usually what my wife says and we have been married 16 years :) After 16 years she likes being left out some!!!

Dang what a fish! Where can I buy some of the lures y'all were using? I have plans to take my cousin down there Saturday and he's never caught a striper, especially one like that.
Very nice fish!
I know custom marine has them. Just ask junior but most tackle shops should have them

Cool, thanks Berry. I'm a big fan of your vids!

Btw, I honked and gave y'all a thumbs up on the water a couple of weekends ago back in Oriental. I wanted to meet y'all but didn't want to mess up the fishing so we just kept rolling on.
You aint going to mess up our fishin'. Come on by next time!!
U Boyz got Skills..." Fishin wid da Gangsta lean"...:)
Thanks guys. I love that bait and have a ton of confidence in it!!!
That's a HOSS!!

Your problem REDNEB is that you lack enthusiasm. Show some emotion now and then and the fish gods will reward you!
I am going to work on that :)
