The Early History of North Carolina’s Recreational Fishery

Today we might imagine saltwater sport fishing in North Carolina as one where sport fishers pursue large sailfish and marlin offshore aboard fiberglass sport fishing boats. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, recreational fishermen could only dream of catching such fish. Instead, recreational fishermen stayed closer to shore in wooden sailboats, that they chartered from local commercial fishe...

    We stumbled on this program today, and appreciate so much your careful, balanced reminder that the "American history" we learned in school (1955--1966, for me) left out a lot, glossed over a lot, and totally ignored what our reaction would be to people coming and taking over our land and lifestyle by force, just because they "want it."

    9:10 the mound site in North Carolina that has the photo realistic portraits that you see on my avatar which is ignored by our department of natural and cultural resources for now show signs that everybody buried everything at one particular time. I was always curious if they were dying out or they were trying to store their culture so permanently within the fired clay casings. I even found a wooden bow and a charred wooden club. I’m using my own money to get it carbon dated. We almost have 2000 subscribers now.

And that they where transported to a land outside the realm we are not allowed to venture at this time . They are protected and thriving on a Land called Croatoan . Is this the only map refering to Croatoan as an island local ?? It is said that almost nothing was left behind and a colony just vanished . Posessions and all . Relocated by a higher authority , a divine people perhaps being preserved from the sickos about to come and shake things up . People need to deep dive these subject's not skirt them . Only interested in parroting others work or perhaps lies and not come to their own findings . Oh well , we will never know will we
