Abstract:

Although many were convinced sport fishing in North Carolina was futile, others persisted, encouraging a growing number of charter boatmen. By 1946, there were approximately 20 cruisers designated for offshore fishing working out of North Carolina ports. Their persistence paid off in 1953 when 13 blue marlin were caught in Hatteras waters.
