About
We are now offering 6-hour fishing charters to the Cedar Island/Atlantic area waters in June and July. We have been accessing this area of Coastal NC for years by running from Oriental and we will continue to do so weather permitting. The ride is 45 to 60 minutes. We will also offer pickups at the NC boat ramp near Atlantic, NC improving access during breezier days. The drive to the meeting point is 40 minutes from Beaufort. This area of the coast offers more sight fishing for reds and an earlier start to our trophy redfishing than we often find on the Neuse River.

Guided by Spec Fever Guide Service
Oriental, North Carolina • 20-29 years of experience
Captain Gary Dubiel began fly tying and fishing at the age of eight in Western Pennsylvania, inheriting these skills from his father. He fished rivers and streams for trout, as well as lakes for bass and panfish. His interest in saltwater fly fishing sparked in the late 1970s during visits to the Outer Banks, eventually leading him to relocate to North Carolina and begin his career as a guide. His service, named "Spec Fever" after his passion for speckled seatrout, also offers specialized trips for redfish, stripers, false albacore, and other local species. Gary boasts over two decades of experience in guiding.
Always looking to improve his techniques, Gary pioneered the popping cork craze for NC giant red drum, turning what was a nighttime bait fishery into a daytime artificial lure fishery. Progressing one step further, Gary invented the Pop-N-Fly rig and revolutionized fly fishing for these giant reds in North Carolina. He has more recently started developing an artificial lure and fly fishery for tarpon on his home waters.
