This unique ecosystem supports diverse year-round catches, including trophy Striped Bass that school abundantly in fall and winter, plus Largemouth Bass thriving in the Chowan, Perquimans, and Pasquotank River systems. Spring brings Speckled Trout to the Elizabeth River’s thermal refuges, while summer yields bottom-feeding Flounder, Red Drum, and Croaker.
The Albemarle Sound’s labyrinth of tributaries and backcountry creeks provides ideal habitats for Crappie, White Perch, and Chain Pickerel, creating versatile fishing adventures. Light-tackle charters navigate these fertile waters, offering family-friendly trips and tailored excursions for seasoned anglers. With expert local guides who know every honeyhole, Edenton fishing charters deliver unforgettable action across 200,000 acres of fish-rich marshes, cypress swamps, and open sound.
