In this hands-on, how-to guide to fishing North Carolina's Outer
Banks, expert fisherman Stan Ulanski combines his enthusiasm, his
experience, and his scientific expertise to show anglers how to
catch more fish.
Focusing on the essential but often misunderstood links between
recreational fishing and the biology, geography, and natural
history of the region,
Fishing North Carolina's Outer Banks
fosters an understanding of the aquatic environment of one of the
nation's prime fishing destinations. Ulanski reveals the best
approaches to the six main Outer Banks angling scenarios: surf,
pier, sound, offshore, inshore, and reef, ledge, and shipwreck
fishing. The book features illustrated fish profiles--each loaded
with essential information, including identification, food value,
and habitat pointers--and species-specific fishing tips for
thirty-five of the Outer Banks' most common game fish. And, once
you've made your catch, Ulanski provides important storing,
cleaning, and cooking advice--including six of his favorite fresh
fish recipes. This is a trusty tackle box tool for planning fishing
trips to the Outer Banks and for understanding the underwater
setting of the fish you're out to catch.
