New Bern and Craven County Fishing
Fishing in New Bern New Bern is a fisherman’s dream between two rivers (the Trent and Neuse River). The Atlantic Ocean is only 35 miles away. There are even local fishing ponds for the quick fishhook wetting. There is something for everyone. From salt water fishing in the Neuse for fish like speckled trout, striped bass, blue fish, spanish mackerel, flounder, to fresh water of the Trent River to catch bass, crappie, and bluegills. A Day Trip on the ocean is the place to catch everything from king mackerel, blue marlin, tuna, bluefish. New Bern is a fisherman's place to live. Enjoy fishing at some or all of our fishing “holes”. The fishing stories are great after a day of fishing looking over the ocean or river cooking your catch of the day.
