Abstract:

In North Carolina, summer fishing is for tourists and fall is the time for fishermen’s fishing. The season usually begins with a mullet blow, a time when the fish become more active due to cooling shallow waters. Also typical of the boom in fall fishing is the well-fed king mackerel, gaining a pound per week in size.

Abstract:

Earley describes a way of fishing along North Carolina's coasts that is slowly disappearing--long-haul net fishing. The technique is expensive and labor intensive and requires coordination among the boats involved. In the 1970s and 1980s, around a dozen long-haul crews worked Core Sound, but it 2007, the number has been reduced to two crews.
