Abstract:

Before the 1980s, some of the best largemouth bass fishing was found in Currituck Sound. However, various factors, including increased salinity and the disappearance of aquatic vegetation, led to its decline, along with supporting businesses. Twenty years later, selected area restocking and the return of aquatic vegetation are helping to restore the fishery.
