Following the recommendation of Club President Herbert Swain Jr., members agreed that the club should have a representative on the commission, which was recently reorganized to include four sport fishermen. He said that as the largest saltwater fishing club in the state (averaging over 500 members annually), Governor Jim Martin overlooked the club when appointing board members last week. Swain recommended club member Dale McDowell of Sunset Har bor as a possible representative since he has been active in the club since 1971 and currently serves as reef committee chainnan. Following approval from club members present, Swain said he would send a ieiier and resolution requesiuig McDowcirs appointment to Martin and a copy to Seventh District Congre.ssman Charlie Rose. Swain said he had already contacted and received the support of State Rep. E. David Redwine. Considering the fact that appointments have already been made, Swain concluded, ‘‘It’s not always the early bird who gets the worm. Sometimes it's the one who talks the loudest." •Bruce Moore, G-pound speckled trout: G-pound. 8-ouncc red drum; IJ-oiincc pigfi.sh: •Ruby McDowell. 9-ounce spot; •David Hirst. 54-pound barracuda; •Dale McDowell. 2-pound, 12-ounce silver snapper; •Frankie Maultsby. 1-pound, 5-ouncc croaker; •Myrle Webster, 7-pound, ^4-ounce black bass (new stale record); •David Wilson, 16-pound bonita; •James Young. 9-pound, 8-ounce shcepshcad; •Wayne Putnam, 65-pound amber- jack •James Adams, 8-pound flounder: •James Warrick. 34-pound, 6-ounce king mackerel; •I,ewis Kiddle. 8-pound Spanish mackerel; The Dale Speicher Award, presented annually to honor one of the founders of the club, went this year to Maultsby.

Hirst D. McDowell K. McDowell 'I 1 Moore Caroon Is Reappointed BY DOUG RUTTER A Southport seafood proce.ssor was recently reappointed to the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission following reorganization of that board. Casliwell Caroon. who luul served three previou.s lenns and six years on the commission, was reappointed for a term of two years by Gov. James Martin. L ut\vv a slate law which took effect Oct. ]. the coriunis.sion now has four commercial ami four .sport fislicmien. Previous commissions in cluded only one of each. According to N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries Director William Hogarth, the change was made because legislators felt there was not enough representation among fishermen on Uie commission. t aroon .said. “Our number one priority has to be clean water. U lv»s l)cen in the past, and without clean water, anything else we do is a waste of time.” He added that as a seafood developer, it Ls his aim to ensure the conservation of natural marine rc.sources. “'rhere arc no political overtones behind my goals on the commission.” he said. ”I am just trying to conser\ e resources for ourselves, our children and our children’s children.” .Although there arc now eight fishermen on the 15-member l>oard. Hoggarth said the fishermen will not necessarily control the entire com- mi.ssion. “I really don't see that they will I control voting! because sport and commercial fi.shermen have dif ferent views on a lot of issues,” he said. Hoggarth added, “It should be a bit more lively with all the fishermen. They won’t be in agreement on all the issues." Martin named Morehead City at torney and sport fisherman 'Fhomas Bennett as board chairman. The previous board requirements calling for ten at-large commis- siunei's on the 15-per.son board were replaced with strictly defined re quirements leaving only two at-large positions. The newly-structured board has also added two marine scientists for a total of three and one .seafood pro cessor for a total of two. It is no longer mandatory that a coastal developer be included in the commission, although Arapahoe developer (iarvin Hardison was a|>- pointed as an at-large member. Terras of the appointments have also changed, creating a .situation in which members .serve staggered terms fnim two to six years. This will .stabilize the bojird and protect it from massive change every lime another governor is elected. (.'aroon said that while he has not met the nine new board members.
