Hi there,
I'll be back home in about 2 months from overseas so I might see you around then but until then here is where I fish. Not sure if your looking for more bank fishing or if you have a boat but here it goes.
On 117 towards the SW side of Goldsboro is Whitetale landing and that is one of the public boat launches into the Neuse. I know a few people that bank fish there and have caught a few cats from that location but not a lot of them. Then on the South East side of Goldsboro there is another public boat landing. If your on 117 heading south from 70 turn to head east on Arrington Bridge Rd. / 581 and continue on 581 and there will be an entrance to the landing right before the bridge goes over the neuse. Bank fishing is much better at that location especially if you pull down the gravel entrance and turn left to drive under the bridge. If you follow that back it will take you to a really nice bend in the river where I know people have caught decent fish there when the river is low, its a nice little whole. If you have a boat though, I woudn't recommend putting an aluminum boat if under 3 feet and a fiberglass boat if under 7 just my thoughts, the river around goldsboro has alot of sandbar type areas and fallen trees.
There is a pond called Durham Lake, really small but have put my 21 foot bass boat in it before. If you head south on 117 again and turn right onto 13 head a mile on 13 and turn left on Durham Lake Rd. Head a few miles down that and the pond is on your left. He charges $2 from bank and $4 or $5 cant remember to put your boat in, there have been some decent bass out of that pond and crappie. I think the deepest I've seen in that pond is about 7 feet.
Theres a few other places in Goldsboro but you need a canoe but I do fish this place a lot especially when the Neuse is low. Just let me know if you want more information cause its all on the Little River and kind of hidden to get to They are nice places to go to and never see anyone out there.
Next there are also a few other places up towards Wilson that are really good, Wiggins Mill and Buckhorn. Wiggins has some bank fishing and Buckhorn has no bank fishing. Buckhorn is $10 to launch a boat and Wiggins is $3, and Wiggins is a trolling motor only. These places are about 20- 30 minutes away.
And finally the next closest place to Goldsboro, is Tar River Resivoir just north of Wilson on I95, I probably do most my fishing there throughout the summer, about a 40 minute drive.
I really only Bass Fish so not sure about other species in these other locations, other than what I have heard or read.
Hope I helped and like I said just shoot me a message whenever and would be glad to help you out and see you around in a couple months.
