Abstract:

Some of the best largemouth bass fishing was found in Currituck Sound into the 1980s. However, various factors, including drought, increased salinity and the disappearance of aquatic vegetation, led to its decline. This is not the first time this has happened, and the fishing is likely to recover as the salt decreases.
