Anyone fishing dark water rivers like there are in Eastern NC? Not to many lakes near me. Interested in seeing what others are catching outside of lakes.

I rarely do but nmost of the coastal streams have good crappie populations. Wondering about any part of the state in particular?
I usually do the cashier, perquimans, little river, pasquotank, and Tar near Washington.Quote:

Fellow off of the **************** site smokes the crappie in the Pasquotank and surrounding waters. I do pretty decent in the Neuse and Trent Rivers as well. Very few 2lb fish, but plenty of 1.25 to 1.5lb fish.
Never went that far from the house. Always wanted to try the trentQuote:

Jeffrey Abney, nice guy too.
River fishing is a whole different game. I'm in Wilmington and fish tidal water around here. Northeast Cape Fear and Black rivers mainly. Plenty of river crappie in some of my old posts. Good to have another river man.

YO guys I am on the coast of NC and I am river,creek a plenty. I live about a half mile in from Currituck sound, about thirty miles north of the Kitty Hawk bridge. We catch a plenty of crappie here but we don't see many three pounders. I have read that they are smaller due to the rivers current. But we due get a lot of 11/2 to 2lbs. 11-13". But it is a very different kind of fishing than in the lakes, and I have spent a good bit of time trying to learn the many different parts of our rivers.
North river up in the narrows around the island use to be good for me when I was in the area

If you went a little further up the river you would have come across a few creeks off the left. One is Indian town creek. Its a hot bed for crappie come around FEB/March. Oh yea the yellow perch are fantastic around these here parts. I have been in the river just before Hertford. Hit a spot and just piled them in. I think I hit some ones brush pile as some woman came out and gave me dirty looks.
I think Indian Creek is where I put in and went out to the river. Perquimans river does have a lot of perch both white and yellow

It's tricky for sure. But once you figure a piece if water out you can make a living at it. River fishing would throw a lot of people off I think.Quote:
