Abstract:

In this SEA CHEST interview, Lloyd Styron talks about the early days of blue marlin sportfishing in Outer Banks' waters. The first time anyone fished for blue marlin off the Outer Banks was in 1933, and the second time was in 1936. Styron describes the people who came to fish, the boats and equipment they used for fishing, the size of the marlins they caught, and his experiences accompanying them.
