Hybrid Striped Bass
Targeting Hybrid Striped Bass near Kinston, NC, offers a unique freshwater experience. The Neuse River, which runs through Kinston, is the primary location for these hard-fighting fish. Hybrids are stocked in the river, creating a robust fishery. Spring and fall are your prime times, as the fish become more active with the moderate temperatures and increased baitfish activity. During the warmer months, target early mornings or late evenings. Look for hybrids near areas with current, such as bridge pilings or creek mouths emptying into the Neuse. A local tip: the boat ramp at Pollock Street is a popular access point, but can get crowded on weekends. Consider launching further upstream for less traffic. Also, pay attention to water clarity; after heavy rains, the Neuse can become muddy, impacting lure presentation. Use brighter colors or lures with rattles to attract attention in these conditions. The hybrid striped bass in the Neuse River are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight!
