STRIPED BASS SHOWING
UP IN COASTAL. WATERS

Manteo. = Striped bass, better
known locally to old timers as
rockfish, are showing up in in
creasing numbers in the waters
of Croatan, Roanoke and Abe
marie Sounds. Anglers have
started trolling for these fish and
early autumn catches, made with
bucktail lures, have been report
ed. One party, Carson w. Davis
and his two sons, Vernon and
Ralph Davis of Manteo, found
striped bass fishing good on the
weekend in the vicinity of Croa-
tan Light where Croatan and
Albemarle Sounds merge be-
tween the northern tip of Roa-
noke Island and the mainland at
Mashoes. Peak of the autumn
rockfish or striped bass runs US
ually comes during mid-October
and continues for several weeks,
and one of the most widely
known sportsfishing ports for the
species is Wanchese on Roanoke
Island.

Geese started arriving on Lake
Mattamuskeet Wednesday of last
week, September 18th, the earliest
in the 10 years that records of ar
rivals have been kept, according
to Willie G. Cahoon, Refuge Man
ager for the Mattamuskete and
Swan Quarter Wildlife Refugees.
Earliest date previously was
September 26, in 1919. The f ir
flocks of Canada geese usually get
here between the 25th and 30th
of September.
From then until mid October, a
few flocks arrive each day or night.
The peak of the migration comes
during the period from October Is
to November 20, when the birds
travel in larger groups, usually in
families of to 10. Occasional
flocks run to so or 100.
The weather is the main factor
controlling the migration of geese,
Mr.. Cahoon points out. AS they
start south they take their time,
if the weather is good, stopping en-
route when they feel like it. But
if the weather is bad, they fly ex-
press, hating only when necessary.
Geese, like other birds, like to
travel by moonlight in comfort, but
they travel fastest when the north
wind nudges them along.
If at any time during the Octo-
Der 15-November 20 period a cold
wave moves down from the north,
the geese try to stay ahead of it,
afraid to look back for fear it
might be gaining on them. At such
times, they land on the lake in
large numbers, both day an d
night.
The blue-winged teal is the first
duck to arrive at the lake-about
September 1st to 18th. These birds
do not winter here, but pass on

Geese Hit Lake Mattamuskeet Earliest
In 10 Years; Cold Winter Is Forecast
Shooting Hours Changed to Allow Hunting Until Sun
set; Year Round Geese For Visitors But Not Natives

through to Pea Island and points
east.
The green-winged teal and pin
tail are the next ducks to arrive,
and records show that they start
to congregate on the lake about
November l, when they become
plentiful. The mallard and bald
pate arrive about the first of Oc-
tober and are numerous by No
vember l.
There are a few resident black
ducks in the area, and their an
nual migration is about the same
as the mallards.
Sometimes people, especially Wis
itors, are fooled by flock of about
40 or SO geese which spend the
summers on Mattamuskeet. Mr..
Cahoon points out that these are
geese which at the time of the
spring northward migration were
wounded or too sick to make the
trip.
The year-round geese stay most
ly in one area and are easily dis
tinguishable by Refuge personnel,
who are on the lookout for new ar
rivals from Canada. The number
of these geese remains about the
same year after year.
When the Canada geese come in,
the local residents join them, and
get killed off in about the same
proportion as the hale and hearty
geese get wounded.
Shooting hours have had one
major change this year. Shooters
will be permitted to bang away
from 1-2 hour before sunrise to
sunset, instead of ceasing fire one
hour before sunset, as last year.
The season on geese, ducks and
coots runs from November II to
January 8, brant from December
26 to January 9.

OVERBY'S BIG
BLUE MARLIN
TOPS RECORDS

Hatteras. - DR.. Jesse C. Over
bey's big blue marlin landed
from aboard his private cruiser
the Snapper II off Hatteras on
Saturday tops all other fishing
news of the year in North Caro-
lima waters. The Norfolk dentists
5701a-pound marlin is likely to
be the American coast record for
1858 and from the standpoint of
length, the giant specimen is pro-
baby a world record. His fish
measured ID feet and II inches
from tip to tip.
Unlike the world record fish of
the species, however, the girth
measurements were only IS in
ches around. World record blue
marlin have measured more than
70 inches around the girth.
DR.. Overbey's marlin was the
second blue marlin landed off
Hatteras this season. First of the
season, one that weighed almost
400 pounds was landed by Walter
Wilkins of Norfolk. Both fish
were taken in the general area of
Diamond Lightship.
The record fish was caught
with 80 thread Ashaway linen
line, loaded on an Ocean City
14/0 reel. A Hornel glass rod was
used and the bait, skipped from
outrigger, was a two pound
mackerel. 1t took two hours and
Is minutes to land the big fish.
