Abstract:
In this article the author is talking about a Fish Cookery and Preparation Class for Women that is ran through the NC Wildlife Resources Commission’s Pechmann Fishing Education Center in the town of Fayetteville. This class is taught to help women or individuals with learning how to scale, pan dressing, skinning, and filleting fish. After learning these skills the participants were tested by working with the commission staff and volunteers to make five different dishes. The purpose of this event was to teach anglers with fundamental skills to be able to take the fish they fetch then transform them into a meal. This class consisted differing levels of experience from new anglers to anglers with years of experience.

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 is discussing the detailed information that the North Carolina Wildlife Commission has on the striped bass. The first thing discussed by the author is that striped bass are androgynous and different parts of their life they in live in freshwater and saltwater. Striped bass move to fresh water to spawn and reproduce and the Roanoke River is where this occurs in North Carolina. The path the striped bass follows is Atlantic Ocean, Albemarle Sound, and then the Roanoke River to spawn. The striped bass will then spend around two to four years maturing in the Albemarle Sound before venturing off into the Atlantic Ocean. When the spawn hatch the currents will take them to the Roanoke River then to the Albemarle Sound. Since the life span of striped bass is around twenty years the process of migrating is repeated multiple time throughout their life. The striped bass is considered a popular sport fish but this would lead to them being over fished which occurred between 1970 and 1980. This lead to strict regulations to help increase the fish population. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was appointed to manage the striped bass.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing a veteran that has been dedicating their time to help other veterans and community members through fishing education. The veteran the author discusses is Army SFC Hector J. Gonzalez who is originally from Puerto Rico and served in the army for twenty-six years. Gonzalez continues to help veterans and the North Carolina community through his participation with the John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center in Fayetteville. The author discusses that Gonzalez enjoys working through the angler and boater recruitment and retention. In 2021 Gonzalez was awarded the Pechmann Fishing Education Center volunteer of the year. Gonzalez was also awarded with the AmeriCorps’ Presidential Volunteer Service Medal and was recognized by Project Healing Waters because of his volunteer work with veterans. It was seen that one reason for Gonzalez volunteer work was because he needed a new outlet when he got out of his army service.
