Abstract:
Thirty years ago, fishing was good in North Carolina, but the catch was small sized and no foundation existed for a sport fishery capable of attracting sportsmen from other areas. A few dreamers speculated on the possibilities of sport fishing far off-shore. Late in the 1920s a few adventurous souls pushed beyond the eastern horizons in small commercial fishing boats, catching large sailfish and other species, eventually proving that North Carolina is a haven for sport fishermen.

Although many were convinced sport fishing in North Carolina was futile, others persisted, encouraging a growing number of charter boatmen.

Their persistence paid off in 1953 when 13 blue marlin were caught in Hatteras waters.
