2 hrs of fishing and I came up with one hit. Bummer. I then left and went to a Blackwater stream about 30 minutes farther east in Wayne County. This was the first trip I have made here in a canoe so I knew it would mostly be a recon trip. The water here was slightly high which makes for tough fishing in any lowland stream as the fish have much more room to spread out.
Here is the view as I head upstream.
This is a fellow paddler I encountered on the way up. He was a very nice man who didn't even have a fishing rod with him?
I started off throwing a White Booyah spinnerbait and then threw a Black Bush Hog spinnerbait with only a few hits. The couple of hits I had may have been crappie as i did catch 1 Black Crappie on the spinnerbait.
Knowing they are not solitary, I then threw a chartreuse grub on my ultra lite and picked up a few more but it was nothing to write home about. I still had a great time as this water has to be loaded with fish, I will just have to figure them out or get an earlier start.
Here is a view of another stream entering this flow
I also saw lots of birds including some loud Red Tailed Hawks.

That launch looks very familiar :). I'll give it a go in a few weeks and see if I can't land a few here. May be a good spot to bring home a few crappie.
looks like a really fun time in Eastern North Carolina man. :D
