Abstract:

In this continuing series of lesser known fishes of North Carolina, Lee describes the sculpin. Since this fish requires cool, swift moving creeks and streams, its range is limited to the state's mountain counties. Only two freshwater species live in the state--the mottled sculpin and the banded sculpin. These fish average only two inches in length and have no scales.

Abstract:

While the average size of a sheepshead in North Carolina is between two and one-half to four pounds, the state record is sixteen pounds and eight ounces. This fish was caught in the Cape Fear River in 1969. A sheepshead is tough to hook, fights like crazy, is hard to get into the boat, but is superb on the table. Crew discusses where, when, and how to fish for it.
