Dad getting into the New Bern striper action

The Roanoke isn't the only place that you can get into the stripers.
Although the speck trout season is closed as a precautionary measure due to the hard freezes and scattered cold stuns, the reports coming in are extremely positive about fishermen seeing large numbers and good sizes of specks in most of the creeks of the Neuse.    Thanks to Capt. Joe Ward for taking my dad fishing for a day.  

"Hey George, only open for a few more days for the rest of this month.....had a great time with Doc last Sun afternoon...15 trout & 7 rock." ----Capt. Joe Ward
