Deen, Brad

Abstract:

Overfishing a species is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to the United States. Historical evidence indicates its practice centuries ago by Native Americans and other cultures around the world. Deen discusses links between overfishing and other ecological problems, including invasive species and altering the food web, and what the future holds.

Kibler, Dan

Abstract:

Brown bullhead, white catfish, white perch, yellow perch, chain pickerel, and common carp are among species often scorned, ignored, and under-fished by freshwater fishermen. Fishermen who do seek them out can find an exciting day of fishing and a tasty meal. Kibler describes the fish, where to find them, and whether they are good to eat.

Morris, Bill

Abstract:

In 1990, twenty-five public fishing piers, approximately one-fourth of all the fishing piers on the Atlantic Coast, jutted out from the state's coastline from Kitty Hawk to Sunset Beach. Kure Beach Pier, which open in 1923, was the first, and it has remained in the Kure family's possession for the past eighty-three years. By May 1, 2006, ten of the twenty-five had closed forever. Hurricanes caused the loss of some piers, but accelerated development on the barrier islands, especially Bogue Banks, is the main reason for closing piers. The price of beachfront property is soaring, and pier owners are selling to the developers. Soon the state's fishing piers and the culture they engendered will be gone forever.

Wilson, Jim

Abstract:

Commercial fishermen in the state face an increasingly difficult life. They deal with intense state and federal regulations, while facing stiff competition from foreign imports. Fish houses are disappearing, leaving fewer places to sell catches. Boats slips are losing out to developments. A new factor is the tension that exists between commercial fisherman and recreational anglers. Wilson discusses reasons for this tension and what can be done about it.

Leutz, Jim

Abstract:

Along the North Carolina coast a hostile relationship exists between recreational and commercial fishermen. Each group for their own reasons fears the other and what they might do. Leutze discusses some of the perceptions the two groups have of each other. For example, commercial fishermen feel recreational ones are insufficiently regulated, while they have to deal with all kinds of rules, regulations, and quotas. Recreational fishermen think that commercial people are unconcerned about exploiting the fisheries. Leutze suggests airing these perceptions to reach a middle ground. For example, commercial fishermen do care about the fisheries because their livelihood depends on them.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Commission's Division of inland Fisheries conducts a city lake management project to improve fishing in them. The project dates back to the 1960s with the division managing the fisheries if the cities will open the lakes to public fishing. Currently, there are forty-two lakes under management. Surveys are conducted to determine the success of the previous management practices and to evaluate present management needs.

Abstract:

North Carolina's lakes, rivers, and streams provide some great fishing experiences. Unknown to many anglers is the fact that some of the best fishing in the state is found in small, well-managed municipal lakes in the Piedmont. Jones discusses where to find these urban lakes for largemouth bass, crappies, channel catfish, and others.
