ORIENTAL - Many Tar
Heel sportsmen feel that the
gods of angling will not give up
a channel bass until the
fisherman has undergone a
suitable period of suffering in
cold wind and blowing sand.
A good case can be made for
the proposition, if we are
talking about spring and fall
surf fishing. But here on the
western shore of Pamlico
Sound, a few locals are getting
away with disgracefully
comfortable fishing behind the
gods' backs. What's more, they
are probably catching more big
channel bass than anyone on
the beach.

lives down the road at
Vandemere. Twice a week in
the spring, he loads about IS
surf rods, a tow sack of sand
spikes, frozen squid and a
friend or two into his outboard
tied up out behind the house,
and they buzz off to some
marsh point in the mouth of
the Neuse or Pamlico river.
So far this year they have
beached over 50 "old drum,"
as they are locally known. The
fish, Hudson said, would
average about 40 pounds each.
I learned of Hudson's
success last summer alter
several of us had caught
channel bass from a boat on
Piney Point Shoal in the mouth
of the Neuse, but I did not
have the pleasure of fishing
with him until this week. Our
guest was Karl Osborne, a
fishing writer and himself an
authority on channel bass
fishing from Virginia to
Florida.
There we were on Sow Point
in our shirt sleeves and shorts,
warm sun beginning to color
our winter pallor, and the wind
10 knots from the northeast. It
was like a picnic.
Hudson is an unorthodox
drum fisherman in the respect
that he likes to fish as many

night at a special board meeting.
rods as he can keep baited.
Early in the year, before the
bluefish and crabs move in, this
means about five rods per man.
The three of us tended 14 rods,
baiting with squid and casting
four ounce lead pyramids as far
out into the sound as possible.
But most of the afternoon
we lounged in the grass
watching rod tips and talking
about drum.
"Our fishing begins early in
April and runs through the
summer," Hudson told us,
"but we never fish much for
drum after the end of June
because of bait stealers."
A few local anglers switch to
lures in late summer and, on
calm days, cast to schools they
locate by sight.
"We prefer thick rough
water for best fishing," Hudson
said, "and for that reason we
pick a point where the wind is
blowing onshore."
"Unvelievablc," Osborne
said. "In many years of fishing,
I have never heard of
deliberately choosing wind and
dirty water as best conditions."
As the afternoon wore on.
Osborne and I were beginning
to suspect a recurrence of what
we call "writer's luck." In the
past, when we have attempted
stories on some aspect of
North Carolina fishing,
conditions have been bad.
What's worse, conditions have
sometimes been good, and still
we have caught no fish.
But with the sun about to
dip into the marsh behind us,
Osborne's rod tip suddenly
bent soundward and. line began
to pay out against a loose drag.
Osborne sprinted to the
throbbing rod, tightened the
diag, and drove the hooks
home. It was a powerful fish,
but the 10-foot surf stick soon
wore it down.
While I was shooting
pictures of Osborne in his
glory, Hudson shouted that I
had a fish on. I probably did
not put that expensive camera
down as gently as the
manufacture recommends.
Karl's fish went 45 pounds,
mine 44.
In three afternoons of
fishing (we never went out
before 2:30), we landed four
fish and had twice that many
on. None of them hit before
seven o'clock.
I must admit that towaid
dark, we put on wind breakers,
but most of the afternoons we
spent in shirtslceved comfort.

Tonic
For Tired
Laying Hens
Force mounting is the
eggman's tonic for "tired
blood" in a laying flock.
Recycling the hens by stopping
production gives them a rest
and triggers a new layinc cycle.
The purpose is to delay the
expense of buying a new flock
of pullets.
"Our poultry men arc
interested in recycling because
the cost of buying new pullets
may be postponed and spread
over 1H to 24 months rather
than the usual 12 months,"
explains D. G. Harwood Jr.,
extension farm management
economist at North Carolina
State University.
"Also, in periods of severely
depressed egg prices,
poultrymen find it difficult to
raise the capital for new
pullets, even if this cost is
justified," Ilarwood added.
Recycling is the practice of
stopping production of eggs by
hens that have been laying H I 2
months. They are forced into a
moult by restricting feed,
water or light, or some
combination of these.
"I don't know just how
many hens in the slate were
forced moulted last year."
Harwood commented, "but I
know it was a substantial
number."
California, a big egg state,
reported that one third of all
hens there have been force
moulted.
' One of the North Carolina
poultrymen who has Hied
recycling is Ed James of
Conway. He had 10,000 hens
that were moulted afier the
first normal lay ing cycle.
He removed feed for lour
days, removed water for two
days, fed whole corn, oals and
grit for 12 days, and then
resumed mash feeding.
His hens peaked at HI
percent production alter the
first month.
After 12 months, James
recycled these same birds
again. After this moult, they
peaked at 65 percent
production. The hens were sold
in April after they had
produced eggs for six months
following the second moult
and had dropped to SO percent
production.
The poultry man indicated to
Harwood that he will use the
recycling practice more in the
future.
''Recycling isn't
recommended for all
producers." Ilarwood
cautioned. "Each producer
must make a decision about his
situation and whether lie
should force moult. It is more
advantageous when capital is
limited, where a premium is
paid for extra large eggs and
where labor is relatively
expensive, and when a flock is
healthy and has produced well
during the fust lay cycle.
Harwood added that
specialists at MSI are
studying the economics of
force moulting to watch
carefully for poor egg quality
for recycled hens and to keep
records to determine j list how
well they arc doing financially .
