RiverBass Guide Service – New Bern
Spend the day with RiverBass Guide Service and let our Captain show you what makes the fishing in New Bern so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Shawn can tell you all about them.
These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself Frogging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be dropping lines from a 20' Ranger Z520R bass boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. You're always welcome to bring your lucky fishing pole.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the Captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be water on offer, but let the Captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Lifelong fisherman and student of all things fishing, I knew going into this trip was going to be difficult based on recent weather patterns and the spring transition patterns. Captain Shawn was determined to get us on fish and it was a true pleasure to fish alongside him and see firsthand how good he is at what he does. After poking around several spots we finally found fish willing to participate. Captain Shawn was a great host , very accommodating and makes a good fishing charter regardless of experiece. Will definitely book another trip again.
Thank you Michael! It was a pleasure meeting you both. Tight Lines!
My Son and I went out with Capt. Keene and had a blast. It wasn't just a fishing trip, it was an educational experience, learning how to fish waters we've never been to. Capt. Keene is very knowledgeable, patient, and skillful... never had a guide position me to catch a 3+lbs bass in the first 10 minutes of fishing! My Son and I enjoyed our trip and the conversations with Capt. Keene. Highly recommend!
Thank you Chris, glad to hear you both enjoyed yourselves! Looking forward to fishing with you guys again soon. Tight Lines! -Captain Shawn
I booked this trip to propose to my fiancé and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Shawn is super knowledgeable and was genuinely a cool guy to chat with! He helped make it special by taking us to different spots he knows and made sure we caught quite a few fish! Highly recommend to anyone :)
Thank you for your kind words, Maria! It was a privilege to be part of your special moment.
Shawn was very response and clear all communications. His Ranger bass boat is super cool and well organized. Aside from my grandson and I catching several 1-2 lb. bass, we enjoyed hearing about the Neuse River ecosystem, local fish migration trends, and also tourneys in which Shawn competes. Look forward to another trip in early fall.
Bill, thank you for your kind words. I look forward to our next trip together. I’m happy that your Trip went well. Maybe mother nature will be on our side in the fall. I always look forward to that time of year. The fishing and air temperatures should be ideal. -Captain Shawn.
Captain Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and kept us on fish all day. We are new to fishing and he was patient and gave excellent instructions to catch fish. My son and I are looking forward to our next trip. Great with kids and very polite.
Thank you for your kind words. Was a pleasure seeing little man catch his first fish!
