Our 2025 fishing Calander and Outlook for Spec Fever Guide Service
February and March: Our fishing will concentrate around New Bern and include a large number of game fish, including stripers, redfish, speckled trout, largemouth bass, bluefish, hickory and American shad, crappie, perch and catfish. Much of the fishing is done in areas of cypress forest! We specialize in light tackle artificial lure and fly-fishing trips.
April: Striped bass will be the focus of our April Charters and center around the Congaree River in Columbia, SC. Large and smallmouth bass and a variety of other freshwater fish are available to target. Again, our charters specialize in light tackle artificial lure and fly-fishing trips.
Summer: Our warm weather charters focus on the Neuse River from either Oriental or New Nern, NC, although more remote trips to the Pamlico and Core Sound are possible on full days with favorable weather conditions. Our world class large bluefish and trophy redfish fisheries need no introduction. Reds, specks, flounder, Spanish, tarpon and striped bass round out our primary targeted species. As always, our charters specialize in light tackle artificial lure and fly-fishing trips. If you are interested in bait fishing charters for adult redfish, we can help you set up a trip.
Fall: Fall is always a fantastic time to fish in NC, Redfish over 50 pounds, specks, bluefish, stripers and slot redfish are all targets. I also offer Cape Lookout false albacore charters in late October and early November.

Our Story

Captain Gary Dubiel offers you year round light tackle and fly fishing charters from New Bern and Oriental for striped bass, redfish, speckled seatrout and a variety of other salt and fresh water game fish. With over 17 years of guiding experience and a life time of angling, Capt. Gary will provide you with a great angling adventure. We are fully licensed and insured SFGS provides you with some of the finest tackle on the market for your day on the water.

Capt. Gary’s passion for fishing brought him to North Carolina in the late 1980’s. Starting “Spec Fever” Guide Service in 2001 because of his love of speckled seatrout fishing. Moving from the Outer Banks to the Neuse River, Gary adding redfish, stripers, false albacore and so many other species to the Spec Fever hit list.

Always looking to improve his techniques, Gary pioneered the popping cork craze for NC giant red drum, turning what was a night time bait fishery into a day time artificial lure fishery. Progressing that one step further, Gary invented the Pop-N-Fly rig and revolutionized fly fishing for these giant reds.

Capt. Gary has written and lectured on both light tackle and fly fishing and he has appeared on many angling shows on ESPN 2, WFN, UNC-TV, NBC Sports, the Sportsman Channel and Discovery Channel (Europe). He is a frequent speaker at local and national fishing shows including the Saltwater Sportsman’s National Seminar Series, the Fly Fishing Show and the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival. He has also been featured in many major sports fishing magazines and in several books.
