Abstract:
Found off the coast of North Carolina, the feared barracuda generally haunt the wreckage of ships. Many of the wrecks are old blockade runners sunk during the War Between the States, others more recent wrecks, such as the petroleum tanker Esso Nashville, sunk by a German U-boat during World War II. Sports fishermen enjoy the aggressive, energetic movements of the barracuda as they skip bait across the water, catching specimens at times weighing more than forty pounds.

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.

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