Abstract:

Considered by Barden as the nocturnal sport of the past, the popularity of shad fishing in North Carolina is waning. Caught by the process of netting rather than angling, shad fishing is a sport of coastal and Piedmont North Carolinians. Standard equipment for shad fishing involves a bow net of two-inch mesh, a flashlight, mosquito repellant, and a gunny sack.
