Check up either NE or SW creeks, go on up in the creek and you should find some action in March.

Pierman - that would be the main branch of the New River, just up in the skinny section. I grew up in a house about a 1 mile from there. In the spring that area gets a heavy concentration of frogs and as a result the bass get real thick in there. Or at least it did in the 70's - haven't fished that spot since I got out of High School.

Topsail angler-use to go to a old sand hole by the RXR tracks in Kinston, it would be full of frogs and the bass were equally full. Catch one on a mouse, rat, frog imitation and they would throwup frogs, they would gorge on them.
I had forgotten about that place until I read your article above, thanks for reliving the memory.
March time frame is a great time for spinnerbaits, break out your favorite, white/charteuse, single silver blade. That will put the thump on in the water and make for a great vibration to bring the Hawgs to the bait.
