Abstract:
The Shallotte Point Poor Boy Shark Tournament was North Carolina’s first registered shark tournament, launched October 2-3. Dave Smith of Whiteville was the tournament’s prize-winner, landing a 312-pound tiger shark. Marine scientist, Dr. Frank Schwartz, explained that sharks were in the process of migrating south and he had thought the tiger sharks had already gone to warmer waters.
