Winter Stripers

Bob Goldstein Inshore Fishing, Promote
If baitfish schools are plentiful, and that usually means menhaden, striped bass sometimes will come close enough to the shore that Outer Banks surf anglers can tangle with them.

With changing weather patterns, finding ocean linesiders may take some work, but small-boat anglers who put in the time can have success.

Gary Dubiel of Spec Fever Guide Service has been featured by PBS, ESPN and Discovery Europe television channels.

That means when it comes to fishing for striped bass at the N.C. coast, he knows his business.

Dubiel runs the 23-foot center console Spec Fever year round throughout the Pamlico Sound area, including New Bern and Oriental, plus Weldon in the spring and Morehead City.

He fishes inshore, inside and upriver for red and black drum, gray and spotted seatrout, king and Spanish mackerel, inland stripers and tarpon.
