The Neuse River basin is a hot spot for wintertime trout, and this episode covers speed of fishing, size of lures, depth of water, type of gear, and what you can do when the trout aren't cooperating.

This episode begins with a detailed conversation on where to look for stripers, seasonal movements, tide, water depths, and water temps, and then it moves to topwaters, soft plastics, and hard baits.

This episode first lists all the terminal tackle you need, and then demonstrates step by step the rigging of a mahi belly, and finishes with a review of the effectiveness of a well-rigged bait.

After a discussion of black drum locations such as oyster beds, rocks, and other structures, this episode covers gear and tackle, bait choices, positioning, and understanding the black drum bite.

The first part of this episode covers how to find and locate late fall and winter wahoo, and then the conversation covers terminal tackle and techniques for both meat fishing and high speed trolling.
