Good Evening,

I also live very close to the Pasquotank River Northern end. I have heard about the stripers. I was looking at a chart of the river today and looks like some nice depth changes. Is that the kind of things stripers like to hang around? I came from Florida and if you found a good depth change you found fish. Any help would be geat.

 

You can catch stripers all up and down the Pasquotank. Just depends on the time of year and of course the weather. Some places to try are the Pasquotank tower, the bay in front of Newbegun Creek, main river points in front of Dukes Swamp and Arneause Creek. As for the largemouth, I have caught them in the sound all the way up to Goat Island. The Pasquotank would be even better if Elizabeth City would stop dumping millions of gallons or raw sewage into the river and I just have a feeling that the desalition plant that Camden has put into operation will sooner or later effect the fishing in that area.

 

NC BUCK,

Thanks for the pionters. I think I will start getting my boat ready and do some trolling here real soon. What do you suggest for lures? I have some YZ silver and blue and some storm silver shads.

 

You have the right stuff, YZ and Mann's 11 and 15 seem to work the best for me and a swim tail now and then. Good luck
