Abstract:
In this article the author was discussing the changes that the commission had approved in regard to the amount of fish being captured per day. The author discussed that the commission had approve a rule that would limit the amount of fish that could be kept and that amount would be one to two and they also reduced the length of the season. The commission stated that the limit of fish being kept to one or two was to help manage the harvesting quota. The commission also stated that they are optimistic with the reductions in fishes kept will help with the spawning fish in both the Roanoke river and the Albemarle sound. History has shown that reductions like in the past helped to reduce the decline in the fish populations in these body of waters.

Abstract:
In this article the author discusses setting up restoration of native vegetation and the building of new fish habitats in Shearon Harris. These talks were brought up during the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission meetings. The author discusses that he also had another reason for the restoration to occur which was that in the restoration of Bass habitats it will also help rebuild the onshore habitats for the Bowfin. The talk for restoration was discussed after the damage that occurred after Hurricane Mathew hit the coast of North Carolina. The author states that locals talk about how Shearon Harris is not what it used to be but the author asks what Harris will be like in the years to come. The author discusses that the vegetation restoration will bring the Bowfin and Bass back from off-shore because they use the vegetation for nesting grounds. The author says that some fisherman will be disappointed to find a bowfin at the end of their line or that they will check their North Carolina Sportfish Identification Pocket Guide and see that it is listed as a sport fish. Many state that the Bowfin does not put up much of a fight to be considered a sport fish but the author says they can list many publications that will attest to their ferocity. Even though the Bowfin is listed as a sport fish it does not have the same protections that other fish have on the same list. The author states that you can catch and kill as many Bowfin as you want unlike other fish. Lastly, the author states that there needs to be more education on this North Carolina fish because after returning to many of the places he use to fish he would find the dead bodies of many Bowfin on the shore.

Abstract:
Striped bass fishing is at its best off the Outer Banks from September to March. However, it was not always so. In the 1970s, the species was in decline. Congressional passage of the Emergency Striped Bass Management Act began the recovery, which now allows fishermen once again to enjoy fishing for striped bass.
