Abstract:
Although the crabbing industry in North Carolina is one of the youngest of the State's four major commercial fishing industries, it has shown the most progress in the past 20 years. Three-fourths of the annual catch comes from Pamlico Sound and its major tributaries. There are three principal methods of crabbing in North Carolina: crab pots, trawling nets, and \"trot lines.\"

Abstract:
In autumn, fishing on the North Carolina coast is bountiful. However, when the fish are not biting, shellfish can be found in any coastal water area that is not polluted. Clams can be raked during low tide in creek beds, along the banks, and on old sandbars. Crabs can be baited using nets and fish heads. Oysters are found in clusters on the edges of marshes and along creeks at low tide. It is necessary, however, to check local laws which define sizes and quantities of shellfish that can be removed from these areas.

Abstract:
Old time crabbing meant trot lines instead of wire pots, and income of three cents a pound versus the contemporary rate of twelve. From Edward Scarborough’s observations about facts like these, one ironic conclusion could be drawn. A better living could be made in the midst of the Great Depression than forty years later.
