I'm heading up to New Bern this weekend or next weekend to do some fishing with my Uncle, and I'm not familiar with the area. He does have a boat. Any idea what I should target to give us the best opportunity at catching some fish? I was debating between fishing for stripers and LM bass nearby or if it'd be a better opportunity to head closer to Morehead to fish inshore for flounder, trout, and drum. Any suggestions on what fish or general areas around that may be good right now would be appreciated!

Regards,

Stay and New Bern and chase stripers. The bridges, train trestles and stump fields are where you should concentrated your effort. Walk the dog style Topwater lures and weedless soft plastics should get you bit.

Agreed. Forget the lmb, unless you just want bites. They are all dinks right now lol.

Thanks! I appreciate the help. That's what I was leaning towards as well. I wasn't sure what to fish for them with. I saw the post from a couple weeks ago with the guys using those eel soft plastics at the trestles, which I found interesting. I've never fished for stripers before, and I hear it's a lot of fun. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a couple.
